Stuffed Mushrooms

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I tried this recipe for a family gathering recently, and it was amazing! I did adapt a few things as the poster above suggested – saute stems and shallot in butter (forgot the garlic, oh well!), and I beat up an egg and added it as well as salt and pepper to the ricotta (fiance is Italian and taught me to do this). Also, I didn’t have any parmigiano-regganio on hand, so I used romano. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you and let you know that the recipe was super simple and amazingly tasty!

Very good stuff! I too was happy to see a vegetarian recipe. I have one friend in a big group that doesn’t eat meat and so I hate to leave her out. Yet, I love meat and so I rarely enjoy the types of dishes she likes. Anyways, this recipe sounded good, and I adapted a few things but still very pleased with the results. I think another way to enrich the flavor might be to saute those chopped up stems with the shallot and some garlic (in butter, natch). My non-mushroom eating friends in the group (hard to please everyone, isn’t it?) liked the crispy parmesan “chips” that were a nice bonus to this recipe.
