Parmesan Panko Stuffed Mushrooms
Warm, delicious and oh so gourmet looking, these panko stuffed mushrooms will be a hit no matter what occassion you make them for. A while ago I had made eggplant parmesan with a Parmesan panko mixture that turned out really good! When I made the eggplant parmesan I had way more panko mixture than I needed and ended up saving the remainder in the refrigerator. The panko mixture lasted a good one-month in the fridge. Finally I got around to using the panko mixture in something different this time – as a stuffing inside mushrooms. These stuffed mushrooms are so easy to make with the most stupendous of results!! They make for great party appetizers or even just to have while hanging out with the family on a late Sunday afternoon. Give it a try! Continue reading Parmesan Panko Stuffed Mushrooms

Upma, Raita and Soup. Lunch with a Friend
It’s looking like fall around here; temperatures are cooler, leaves are falling, and it’s getting darker earlier. This type of weather always gets me in a contemplative mood. It’s times like these when all though I want to socialize and meet friends, I really want to keep it low-key – you know what I mean? This is the mood I was in when I had a friend over for a simple fall lunch one Friday afternoon recently. Not two friends, not three, but just one. It’s nice once in a while to have a quiet lunch with just one friend, it gives us a chance to catch up one/one and relax over comfort food and conversation.
