Stuffed Mushrooms with Bacon & Boursin
I’ve
always loved mushrooms but they were forbidden in our household as a
child. When we were young, Marlina had an
adverse reaction to one so my parents assumed she had an allergy..and that was
the end of having them in the house. But once in a
while Marlina would sneak a mushroom {at a friends!} with no type of adverse reactions. However, when my mom found out she was doing
this, well, let's say it was not a pleasant experience!
Living
with Gavin is easy-we have no dietary restrictions. We have basically the same tastes in food and
he likes trying out new things. I
totally lucked out. I’ve been meaning to
make these for quite some time now, and happy that I have another appetizer to
add to the blog. It’s simple, easily
adaptable and so addicting! I used some
of my favorite savory ingredients-boursin cheese (YUM!) & bacon. You can’t go wrong with them! I added in some chopped walnuts for some
texture and threw in chives for color.
But you can pretty much add whatever you please…but make lots because
they will not last long!

I have always thought that it would be difficult living with someone that has a totally different taste in food. I have been so blessed in that department as well :). And these mushrooms would be a great side dish or appetizer.... I am sure they'd be gone in no time!
