If I were to think of my favorite ingredients (right on top of my head), it would look like this.

• Artisan bread
• Garlic
• Avocado
• Mushroom
• Cheese
• Tomato
• Pasta
• Olives
• Chicken
• Asparagus
• Potatoes
• Fresh herbs
• Berries

If it wasn’t for chicken, I would have become a vegetarian very easily. I do have a soft spot for vegetarian food somewhere there in my <3 (Read: Heart).

I mean look at all the food I love.

Is there such a thing as being a part-time vegetarian? Like I can decide as to when I just want to eat a Baked Butternut Squash or dive in a pot of Chicken Casserole? If there is such a club, kindly sign me up for a lifetime membership. There are certain staples that make their way into my supermarket cart on a weekly basis. One of it has to be mushrooms. I love mushrooms. No, wait, let me up-size it. I LOVE mushrooms. Yup, big on love, but I am not alone because when I was googling for some mushroom recipes, I came across this on yahoo answers.

Who would even ask such a question?? Dude, just leave her for the love of mushroom!!

Anyways, these Three Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms are phenomenal and totally out of the world. This has to be the best mushroom dish ever! It tasted so good that I can easily give up pizza for this. Yes, you read me correctly. I CAN give up pizza for a platter of these. Stuffed with cream cheese, Parmesan and mozzarella, how can you possibly go wrong? They make the perfect appetizers, but If you are making these for appetizers, do use smaller button mushrooms. It makes popping so easy or rather, too easy! I used full-size button mushrooms because I wanted to eat this as a main meal. Yes, my dinner was made out of mushrooms ♥. It makes me feel less guilty with all three cheeses going on there. Strategy my friend, strategy.

Most of us are exposed to a few varieties of mushrooms, but do you know that there are actually thousands of different types of mushrooms? My favorites would be white button, Portobello, shitake, oyster and enoki. I have realized that people who love mushrooms would be head over heels with these little beauties and people who dislike/hates them, like my brother, you literally have to twist his arm to make him eat these! I’m not speaking from personal experience here.

These mushrooms were delicious. Oh wait, have I already said that or is this just Deja vu? Mushrooms are already awesome in my opinion, but when you fill it with gooey melted cheese, it is so glorious! Imagine topping these up with some crispy bacon? Just crisp up some bacon, crumble and top it on the mushrooms. Holy cow! But since I am a vegetarian for the day, I didn’t add bacon to this (Read: I did not have bacon in the fridge)

Bummer.
