I promised a friend ( Amber! ) that I would post another recipe, since I did say in my very first blog that I was going to touch upon a couple of different topics, but I have strayed and focused alot on fashion and clothing! So here goes nothing!

This next recipe is one of my favorites and could be used as an amazing appetizer. It's a crab stuffed mushroom. I originally tried crab stuffed mushrooms at a fine-dining restaurant in Cambridge, Ontario called "Blackshop" ( great restaurant by the way! Check their menu out at http://www.blackshop.ca/ ), they had some pretty great food.

I wanted to try and remake this recipe for my boyfriend at home. You can use little cup cake tins or you can buy some inexpensive stove-friendly ceramic mushroom plates at your local culinary store.

This recipe is actually from Paula Dean. You can, of course, tweak it a bit to your liking. You can try a different seasoning, and I also love to throw some lemon juice on top after I take them out of the oven.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know how yours turns out and if you have any suggestions! <3
