Menu Planning for the holidays.
Holiday season is about to arrive on our doorstep and I couldn’t be more excited! I love the lead up to Christmas…all the shopping, the baking, the get-togethers, it’s all so much fun. But it can be super stressful can’t it? Every year I tell myself that I will get ahead of the game and that way I can enjoy the season. I try. I really do.
One thing I am doing right now to get ahead is starting my planning of seasonal menus…menus for gatherings with friends and family, menus for last minute parties, but especially snack and appetizer ideas. I always find coming up with snacks and appies to be so hard, but when you think about it, these kinds of dishes are required the most during the holiday season, so it’s best to have a good arsenal of ideas. To help us all get ahead of the holiday schedule, I thought it would be helpful to share appetizer recipes with you this season…easy and delicious recipes that will wow your guests!
Stuffed Mushrooms are DELICIOUS!
A delicious appetizer that I want to share with you is this recipe for Stuffed Garlicky Mushrooms aka Garlicky Basil Chicken in Mushroom Caps. The original delicious recipe can be found on the Chicken.ca site, where you can find so many amazing recipes, including appetizers. But something about this recipe drew me in, because I’m a big fan of stuffed mushrooms. I love a savoury and meaty appetizer that can be served up like a tapas, but is hearty enough that you could almost have them for dinner. That’s these stuffed mushrooms for sure. SO good.
Stuffed Mushrooms are easy to make!
Don’t be afraid to make stuffed mushrooms…they’re actually much easier to assemble than you might think. And they’re worth the effort not only because they’re delicious, but this recipe makes a huge batch which is perfect for holiday gatherings.
Shall I tell you how delicious they smell as they’re cooking too? Wouldn’t smell-o-vision be a great thing?
Smothered in cheese, and wine and basil. Oh my.
Mmmmm
Don’t forget the bread!
Serve these stuffed mushrooms with crusty bread to mop up the garlicky wine jus. The jus is equally as delicious as the stuffed mushrooms themselves. Dip dip. Yum yum.

Love this recipe for stuffed mushrooms. I have never thought of adding ground chicken to the mushrooms. I usually make them chessy and vegetarian. What a great twist!
I hadn’t really thought of adding meat either, but I have to say I love it! The meat makes them hearty enough that they’d even be good for dinner!
These look so delicious, Jo Anna. We have a dinner party this weekend and I think this recipe just made the list- thanks!
Thank you Shauna! I hope you enjoy them if you make them!
Jo-Anna, these mushrooms look gorgeous! And it’s funny how you say not to be afraid to make them. I’ve had an unusual fear of stuffing vegetables after some disastrous baked, stuffed red peppers I tried about a decade ago. Maybe I need to move on… 😉
Hahahaha too funny! I’ve been afraid of stuffing vegetables too LOL! But it’s worth it! 😉
The mushrooms look so yummy!! I would never have thought about stuffing mushrooms with chicken. Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
This looks sooooo good! I feel like it would make a really good dinner too! Yum.
Love how you just sprinkled cheese over top of all of these before baking, great idea! I usually mix the cheese into the filling. Anyways, I agree, stuffed mushrooms are one of my favourite appetizers for holiday entertaining!
what a gorgeous dish, and I’m sure just as delicious
Thank you Heather!
