The theme for this month’s Recipe ReDux challenge is centered on “Vintage Side Dishes”- very timely with the Thanksgiving holiday approaching! I was a bit stumped with this one because I have already “ReDuxed” a bunch of my family recipes, like Texas Hash, Dumplings, Cucumber Salad, Meatloafand Mashed Potatoes to name a few. I have been wanting to re-make a stuffed mushroom recipe for awhile now and luckily when I started looking up vintage recipes on the Web, stuffed mushrooms were definitely among the “old school” favs listed- a perfect choice! Most traditional stuffed mushrooms call for less than healthy ingredients like refined white breadcrumbs, fat laden butter and cream cheese as well as sausage and bacon. I decided to put my own healthy twist by using the super grain quinoa, low fat cream cheese, turkey bacon and just a touch of parmesan cheese. The result was a delicious and flavorful stuffed mushroom that is actually low fat and low calorie too! Try these as a great appetizer for your next party! And check out the some of these other great “Vintage Side Dish” recipes by the talented bloggers from the Recipe ReDux Clan!
