Quinoa and Feta Stuffed Mushrooms

Jump to Recipe

Oh my gosh, these quinoa and feta stuffed mushrooms are to die for! Great for snacking and parties.

There is something I am going to tell you, and it is going to be hard to say.

I have grey hair.... and I am only 27.

Okay, I said it. It didn't feel good saying it, but now it is out there and I can start the coping process.

I know I've mentioned that city of grey I found a few months back when I shared my upside down lemon meringue pie. I plucked them all away and thought that way that, but I was wrong. Not only have they all grown back, but it SPREAD! What the actual h-e-double freaking hockey sticks?! Okay, so getting grey hair doesn't mean I am old and there are so many factors that can contribute to grey hair, but still. This is not a look I can rock. I already suffer from "mom hair" (aka frizzy and totally unmanageable) as it is. My hair used to be my best feature and now it's like I have someone else's hair.

Oh my gosh, these quinoa and feta stuffed mushrooms are to die for! Great for snacking and parties.

You are probably thinking "Whatever, Amanda. Stop being so freaking vain." But I can't help it! I am not ready to "age gracefully" and I don't want to have to worry about greys right now. I don't want to be my mother and spend every morning plucking out greys and trying to hide them..... not that my mom does that. Oh crap... sorry for calling you out, mom! Thank god she doesn't even know what a "blog" is, let alone that I have one. She just thinks I like baking a whole lot and taking pictures of everything I make. Which is totally true.

Oh my gosh, these quinoa and feta stuffed mushrooms are to die for! Great for snacking and parties.

So now that I've gone completely off-topic and embarrassed my mom without her even know, I present you with my quinoa and feta stuffed mushrooms. I love to pop these babies in my mouth whenever I am hankering for a snack. I turn them into main dishes with a side of pasta and also serve them as an appetizer at parties. They are so delicious, I can't even sometimes. B. T. Dubs (going off topic again here). Aren't these little plates the cutest? I didn't realize how little they were until they arrived, but I have a feeling I'll get good use out of them, still.

  • Remove the stems and gills from the mushroom caps and clean well.
