Just wanted to share an awesome recipe that I totally, absolutely did not find on Pinterest..
Ahem..
// THE GOODIES
- 1 package fresh mushrooms, washed + stalks trimmed
- 1 egg
- Parmesan cheese
- Sprinkle of seasoning (garlic, parsley, pepper.. lots of possibilities)
- 2-3 cups of breadcrumbs
// THE DETAILS
I used a little Mrs Dash garlic & herb seasoning and I made my own breadcrumbs using pretzel crackers. I mashed them with a hammer. No, really. It's cheaper than therapy and the results are delicious. I love using a pretzel cracker hybrid because it makes for extra crunchiness. Plus they are already seasoned, so it makes life a little easier. Simply dip the mushroom in the egg mixture, roll it around in the crumb mixture and place it on the cookie sheet. Bake at 450F for 10-12 minutes.
TIP: wash and wipe your hands after every couple of mushrooms. This will keep things from getting too messy and potentially disastrous.
ENJOY!

I like to think of myself as a lazy gourmet. It's really common for me to use boxed mixes (cakes, muffins, scones) and add my own little touches to them. That way they taste a little more.. well, gourmet.Usually it's as simple as adding vanilla extract, crushed nuts or cinnamon. I didn't have the energy to attempt this delicacy on the fourth of July, despite the fact that it would have been completely appropriate.. Oops. But I think cherry pie is appropriate for any time, holiday or not.
The only little tweak I made to this recipe was that I added about a quarter of a cup of graham cracker crumbs and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon to the pie crust. I have boxes and boxes of graham cracker crumbs. I like to add a scoop to pancake batter, too. Gives it more oompf.
Then I used my trusty little star cookie cutter to make the top crust, and sprinkled it all with raw sugar. Yum!
