Stuffed mushrooms are such a great appetizer for every occasion. I make these every single year for Thanksgiving and not one person knows they are fat free! Enjoying appetizers and finger foods doesn’t have to ruin your diet! Simply altering ingredients can drastically change the calories of a recipe like this one!

14oz fresh mushrooms, cleaned & stems separated

Squeeze out the water from the spinach with a paper towel or cheese cloth and chop fine.
Add spinach, mushroom stems, roasted red peppers, bread crumbs and parm cheese to a bowl and mix.
Fill mushrooms with mixture, rounding off the tops. Place stuffed mushrooms on a baking sheet, spray tops of mushrooms lightly with cooking spray and bake for 20 minutes!
