The Crab Rangoonies

I made these on a whim the other day when I discovered a package of imitation crab meat in the freezer.

I did half the amount of scallions in the recipe, and there seemed to be more than enough, for me. They tasted exactly like the rangoons that I get at the buffet; sooo good. My mom did whip up a hoisin and soy sauce dip for them which went perfectly. These are definitely on the "to be made again" list.

Four Cheese Stuffed-Silly Mushrooms

Another new recipe tonight. The recipe I used was in the Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 cookbook, but another version of the recipe can be found here.

I love stuffed mushrooms but, since the recipe we used was basically breadcrumbs and butter, I thought I wouldn't be able to have them anymore. Needless to say, I was excited when I found this recipe. I ended up doubling the recipe to make 12 mushrooms for my mom and I.

I really like this recipe. I felt that it could have used a bit more garlic, but other than that it was very tasty. I did end up with a ton of extra filling, almost a couple cups worth. I ended up just forming loose balls with it, and putting them on the baking sheet as well. They turned out just fine, although most of them fell apart.

HG: Nacho-Riffic Stuffed Chicken

I've been getting really bored with what I've been having for dinner, so I decided to try something new. I saw this recipe for stuffed chicken on HG's show and knew I had to try it.

(Please to be ignoring the stuff on the left, it's the filling that fell out during baking). This stuff is sooo good! The filling was gooey and cheesey, the chicken was cooked perfectly, and the topping was crunchy and had a bite to it. This is definitely one that I'll have to make again.
