I am a huge movie buff. Every year I try really hard to watch as many of the Oscar nominated movies as I can so that I can watch the big show and see who wins. I have to tell you that my favorite movie this year is Midnight in Paris!
I few weeks before the Oscars I like to plan my menu and select a signature cocktail. This year I'll be making Pear-Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms
Ingredients
| - 1 package (16 oz.) white mushrooms - 1/4 cup I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!® Spread - 1 large pear, peeled, cored and finely chopped - 1 large shallot OR 1 small onion, finely chopped - 1/4 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese - 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley (optional) - 1/4 tsp. salt - 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper |
Instructions
