It was very easy to make, that's for sure. I thought I'd have it with the Ikea Meatballs that the same author suggested (which came from an inside source!!!). Unfortunately, I didn't have enough italian dressing because the ingredients called for 2 Tablespoons and then the directions said to use 1 tablespoon in each mushroom but the recipe was for 4 mushrooms. So I'm probably missing some of the flavor that was supposed to be there: it was a choice between half the recommended amount of dressing or two mushrooms with and two without the dressing.<br/>Once again, I think this recipe needs a little more thought.

Mom of 2, a girl and a boy who are 11 and soooo picky, neither of them like what the other likes so cooking is a chore! heh One's in the oven still baking ;) I'm due Dec '08. I'm also a step-mom to yet another 11 year old who has never eaten a sandwich and outright refuses to!
I'm originally from Northern Ontario, but moved to Virginia 12 years ago for school. Two years ago I moved up to MA and got my first lesson on a gas stove, I've never had one ever! I would never go back to electric again lol
'Zaar has been such a lifesaver for me when it comes to recipes I've rarely had one that has ever failed the family...but there was this one time...heh
Well I guess that's the short fast version...maybe one day i'll actually sit down and right a "real" about me page :)
