Ingredients:
2 pounds of mushrooms, the smaller the better
8 T butter plus a little for greasing baking dish

1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1/2 to 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

Wash and trim the end of stems from mushrooms. Pop remaining stem out. Chop (I used less than half) stems and set aside. Melt 4 T. butter; brush over mushrooms. Spray a shallow baking dish with butter-flavored spray or grease w butter.Heat remaining 4 T butter in skillet. Chop green onions; combine with reserved chopped mushroom stems, bacon and garlic. Add to skillet along with the spinach; sauté until tender. Add bread crumbs, salt, and pepper to vegetable mixture; stir well. Add a little cream to moisten more if necessary. Fill each mushroom cap with a little of the stuffing, mounding up. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and mushroom caps are tender.

Sun-Dried Tomato, Parmesan & Basil Whirls
Ingredients:
1 packet puff pastry, buttered
2-3 cups of grated fresh Parmesan cheese
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained from olive oil and chopped
Fresh basil leaves, torn up
Chilli flakes to taste
1 egg, beaten, for glazing
Directions:
Roll out the pastry quite thinly into a large rectangle, butter well.Spread the chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over the pastry, leaving a little gap at the edges. Then scatter the Parmesan over, followed by the fresh basil leaves and the chilli flakes. Season with salt and pepper if wanted. Brush one of the long ends with a little beaten egg, and (from the opposite side) roll the pastry up like a long sausage, and place on a baking tray. Put it in the fridge for about half an hour - it makes it easier to cut. You can cut it in half if it's too long to fit on the tray. Brush the roll with beaten egg and with a sharp knife, cut it into slices that are no more than 1cm wide. Put them on baking trays, spaced apart and brush the pastry with a little more beaten egg. Bake in the oven, 375º for 20 minutes or so, until they are beginning to brown and the pastry is cooked. Serve hot or cold. These are very pretty and especially appropriate at Christmas with the red and green colors.

Julie's Appetizer Puffs
I remember the first time I made these. We were helping give a party in Toccoa. I found this recipe in a book my mother gave me called "Manna from Heaven" from St. Mary's Hospital Auxiliary in Saginaw, Michigan. I chose them because they were made with simple and inexpensive ingredients and we were just "getting by"! I stuffed them with cream cheese, green onion and tuna fish and got several complements!
Melt 1/2 C shortening in 1 C boiling water. Add to liquid ingredients, all at once, 1 C sifted all-purpose flour and 1/2 t salt, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook until mixture leaves the side of the pan in a smooth compact ball. Cool about 1 minute. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating hard with the wooden spoon after each addition, until mixture is smooth again. Drop by 1/2-1 tsp on a baking sheet sprayed with Pam. Bake in a preheated 450 oven for 7-8 minutes, then drop the temperature to 400 for 12-15 minutes. Stuff with your favorite chicken or crabmeat salad mix. These can be baked in a larger size, 1 T at 450 for 10 minutes and at 400 for 25 mintues. They can also be used for sweet treats, stuffing them with a custard filling.
Annie’s Cheese Nips
Ingredients:
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
(plus 1/2 cup divided & reserved for kneading and rolling)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Topping powder
(or 2 packages dry cheese powder from 2 boxes Kraft macaroni & cheese)
3 tablespoons shortening
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt (for tops, optional)
1. Sift together 1 cup flour, baking soda, baking powder and cheese powder in a large bowl.
2. Cut in the shortening with a fork and knife with a crosswise motion until dough is broken down into rice-size pieces. Mixture will still be very dry.
3. Stir in buttermilk with a fork until dough becomes very moist and sticky.
4. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the reserved flour over the dough and work it in until it can be handled without sticking, then turn it out onto a floured board, being sure to keep 1/4 cup of the reserve flour for later. Knead the dough well for 60 to 90 seconds, until the flour is well-incorporated. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a light coating of cooking spray on a baking sheet.
6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and use the remaining reserve flour to dust a rolling surface. Roll about one-third of the dough to just under 1/16th of inch thick. Trim the edges square (a pizza cutter or wheel works great for this), then transfer the dough to a lightly greased baking sheet. Use the rolling pin to transfer the dough. Simply pick up one end of the dough onto a rolling pin, and roll the dough around the rolling pin. Reverse the process onto the baking sheet to transfer the dough.
7. Use a pizza cutter to cut across and down the dough, creating 1-inch square pieces. Use the blunt end of a skewer or broken toothpick to poke a hole in the center of each piece.
8. Sprinkle a very light coating of salt over the top of the crackers (crackers will already be quite salty) and bake for 8-10 minutes, mix the crackers around (so those on the edge don’t burn) and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until some are just barely turning a light brown. Repeat the rolling and baking process with the remaining dough. Makes approximately 300 crackers.

3 large jalapeno peppers, seeded and cut into slivers
10 slices thick sliced bacon, cut in half
20 toothpicks, soaked in water

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Use a sharp paring knife to cut down the backs of the shrimp nearly all the way through, so you can spread apart the two halves. Open up the shrimp and lay them out onto your work surface. Spoon some crumbled feta cheese onto each shrimp, then top with slivers of jalapeno pepper. Close up the shrimp and wrap each with a strip of bacon; secure with a toothpick.
Cook on the preheated grill until the bacon has begun to crisp and the shrimp is no longer translucent in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.
