Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms

    So good I could put it on a bagel.  That used to be one of my measures of greatness.  Now it's more like wow, I could totally eat this with a spoon and a smile.  When I was making the filling for these delicious little gems, I blurted out, "Wow!  I could totally eat this on a bagel!"  Cue an awkward pause.  Even my inner low-carb conscience was not thinking an appropriate bagel look alike.  She was dreaming of slathering the filling on a giant carby toasted New York bagel.  Sesame bagel, to be precise. 

    Despite wanting to spread the filling on anything and everything, and eating a disturbing amount of it on a spoon (with a giant goofy smile), I did eventually manage to fill some mushroom caps with it.  A few less than the original 12 that the recipe said, but only because of my excessive need to keep tasting it. 

    The only thing I would add to this, and it's totally great without it, is maybe a teeny sprinkling of garlic powder.  I used regular yellow onions, but I think red onions or vidalias would be outrageously good also.

    I made them in my toaster oven, and they came out perfect!  I paired them up with some buffalo wings and had quite a tasty dinner.  I could totally see these being served to guests and being a part of the regular weekly dinner rotation.  Somehow I had the strength to put a few in the fridge, and they are great as a part of that cold leftovers breakfast we don't always admit to, but know we all have.
