Pirogi Heaven

I love Chicago, any time of the year, even in the winter!  There is always so much to do!  On a spur of the moment trip, we took in a great lecture at the Cultural Center, spent hours at the Art Museum where we explored the Picasso exhibit and discovered an authentic Polish restaurant!  Chicago always has the unexpected!   I must prefix that we went to a very stylish, sophisticated, upscale looking Asian restaurant that had me at the first hello.  Unfortunately, the food was way to sweet for my taste, so I left hungry.  My daughter Google a restaurant near the Loop, which led us to Pirogi Heaven purely by accident. Definitely not upscale, but a simple, immaculate, authentic Polish restaurant that was wonderful and took me back to Krakow!

Sausage and Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushroom

There is just something about mushrooms that I love.  I like them raw, sauteed and stuffed!  I have yet to met a stuffed mushroom that I don't like.  This one is very simple!

Remove mushroom caps
Cook 1/2 pound of sausage until no longer pink
Mix with cream cheese
Bake at 350 degrees until hot

MY TIP:  Use the reserved mushroom stems in an omelet the next morning!
