Merry Christmas everyone! Just a super quick post before I head up to Evergreen to begin the Christmas celebration with my family, friends, and all the dogs! This past week has been super fun, like seven straight nights of parties fun! I’m kind of exhausted from all the late nights but I do love this time of year and seeing so many friends. Anyway, for two of the parties that I went to I made these Sundried Tomato & Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms. I love stuffed mushrooms and anything with sausage in it makes it all that much better! I thought adding sundried tomatoes and spinach to sausage would make it that more festive! It kind of worked and the combination of all the flavors really work well together! It’s not too late to pick up the ingredients for this yummy appetizer. I’ll be making it again tomorrow for our afternoon gathering of friends. I’m so excited to see everyone! Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that your holiday is a lovely day filled with much joy and love!
