'lite' Stuffed Mushrooms

"This is a good appetizer to serve when you are watching calories. Leave out the jalapeno & garlic, if you wish they are good even without them. Try using a Portabello and if you can find them Black Garlic. - Wonderful flavor. Black Garlic are from Korea and are fermented in a special process - Very mellow flavor"

  1. Bergy, thanks for posting a great tasting recipe. I made the recipe as you directed, and then I added 1 green onion, just for another layer of flavor. Really, you could play around with different flavors for these mushrooms, like using a chipotle instead of a jalapeño. This is definately a keeper. Thanks! :-)
     
  2. I wasn't really 'over the moon' for these. I mean, I liked them enough, but they definitely tasted "lowfat." I think I would toy with the filling if I were to make them again, keeping them lowfat, but replacing the cottage cheese with something else.
     
  3. They were way too spicy for my family and me, so next time I'll use just one clove of garlic and maybe 1/3 cup of cottage cheese, but they were otherwise fantastic!
     
  4. These were really good, but no matter how long I seemed to cook them they never really browned on top (the cheese just got a littly runny). No matter - they were wonderful! I added a lot more jalepeno and garlic, and they were still great. Thanks for the GREAT recipe!
     
  5. These were delicious! I wasn't sure how broiled cottage cheese would taste, but, it turned out to just be a creamy background to the jalapeno. I used Miss Annie's suggestion and added some chopped green onion, also. I'll definitely be making these again, especially since they're only 1.1 WW point per serving. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
