Hello, my friends, How is everyone doing this week? This week it’s very exciting and busy for me because my mother is visiting from the Dominican Republic. I decided to cook quick & easy Artichoke Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms for her. This appetizer takes 5 minutes to prepare, 15 minutes to bake and almost no chopping at all.
I’m planning a couple of fun activities to do with my mother. First, I booked a cooking class where we will learn how to cook something new, and then at the end of the class, everyone sits and eats at the table to celebrate our results. I’m also thinking to make a couple cooking videos with mom cooking and me shooting. Next time she comes for a visit I will book another class, but this time it will be a pottery class. She loves to do educational activities, and for me through these classes it will be the best way to spend quality time doing things together that we love. What do you think about those activities? It will be the first time that I plan this kind of activities with her.
This Pesto Stuffed Mushrooms recipe has Mediterranean influences starting with our Artichoke Pesto, available in our online shop. Then we add some lemon zest and fresh herbs to make it an aromatic dish with sage leaves.
Check out one of my other tasty appetizer featured in BuzzFeed: Asiago Crab Artichoke Dip.
