Our weekend is just now coming to an end thanks to President’s Day. Although I’m sad to see the weekend go, I’m glad tomorrow’s already Tuesday which means a short week at work. We had a super low key Valentine’s day starting with lunch at the hibachi grill. Jack kept pushing his plate towards the grill for more food and I’m pretty sure the chef wondered if I ever feed my child. J and I don’t do big gifts for Valentine’s Day but he did give me 2 dozen roses and white chocolate covered strawberries. I made him this “man bouquet” although most girls I know would also like booze…

No Fuss Stuffed Mushrooms
I love a good stuffed mushroom but they’ve always seemed so intimidating to make. Well not only are they easy to make, but you probably already have the majority of everything you need. If this recipe can also be adopted if you’re a vegetarian. I based my recipe off this one, but simplified it to make it even easier and quicker. What You Need: -15-20 large mushrooms with stems left in (washed and cleaned) *I bought a pack of smaller mushrooms and wish I had boughten the larger ones because I had a lot of stuffing left -1 tbsp butter -1 tbsp garlic powder -1 tsp onion powder -4 oz cream…
