We've been making these nearly weekly since the May edition of Cooking Light and they are a huge hit! They look so impressive with guests - just beautiful, especially with the stems still on! I don't use sage and instead use extra green onion and stir the cilantro right into the cheese. We sprinkle paprika on top just for addded prettiness :)

Although hardly your traditional southern girl, I come from a huge southern family and have been cooking since I was eight years old. Cooking is more then a hobby, I genuinely get so much pleasure from cooking and providing the people I love with great food. I have to attest, that it truly IS the way to a man's heart! In my opinion, there is nothing more admirable to hold then the truest essence of a homemaker, or as the term is coined today "household engineer"! I am a licensed real estate agent working full-time from home and a soccer mom to my 9 year old son. I am a busy bee but somehow find time to indulge in some of my many passions: dancing, photography, sewing and interior design. Finding that perfect balance is what I strive to do everyday and so far so good.
