Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms (Gluten-Free Option)


This year our annual New Year's Day drop-in party was a busy one!  Every year I vary what I serve, but this time around the menu included:
  • Homemade mini tomato basil pizzas
  • Stuffed Mushrooms
  • My vegetarian maki sushi
  • Baby carrots and snap peas
  • Clementines
  • Chocolate dipped strawberries
  • Chips, popcorn, and pretzels
  • Several types of nuts
  • Shasha spelt ginger snaps and whole grain cheese crackers for the kids
  • Homemade rice crispy squares
  • Wine, juice and mulled apple cider
The stuffed mushrooms were a new experiment, and they went over very well.  Makes a great appetizer and they are simple to make.

Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms

3.5 lbs stuffer mushrooms (I had 32 mushrooms)
2 cups whole grain or gluten-free cracker crumbs (measured after crushing crackers, if making your own)
1 cup oil-packed sundried tomatoes, drained
2 cups fresh basil
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
4 tbls balsamic vinegar
2 tsp Rustic Tuscan seasoning from Costco (or Italian seasoning)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients for stuffing in food processor until it comes together.  Pull out stems from mushrooms and carefully wash and pat them dry.  Pack about a tablespoon, or so of stuffing into each.  Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 375F for 40-45 minutes, lightly covering them with foil after the first 20 minutes.  Serve warm or room temperature.

Book Review: The A to Z of Children's Health

Hey there, welcome to Monday!  We had a delightful, relatively quiet weekend.  How was yours?  Hopefully no one in your home was sick...there is a lot of nasty stuff going around these days. If you're a parent, than you have probably spent far more time that you would like to desperately searching Google and/or parenting books trying to figure out if your child's rash, cough or fever warrants a trip to the doctor or if there is something that can be done to treat it.  It's hard not to worry that it could be something more ominous that just an every day infection and while you'd make yourself (and everyone around you) nuts if you panicked every time your kid has the sniffles, as a parent, you naturally want to do everything in your power to prevent your child from harm. Recently I was sent The A to Z of Children's Health , written by doctors Jeremy Friedman, Natasha Saunders, and Norman Saunders, of Toronto's very own Hospital for Sick Children .  One of th...

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ...

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch...
