MUSHROOM MOZZARELLA BAKE WITH "BREAD" CRUMBS ON TOP
This takes an already awesome
side dish and puts it over the top! My family loves the crunchy topping I came up with for casseroles, however, this topping is more like bread crumbs. Both have their uses, for sure, and it's good to have both toppings in our low-carb arsenal when it comes to taking certain casseroles from ordinary to special! Hope you are all enjoying the week before Christmas. Try not to stress too much. Prioritize, prioritize is my motto...some things will just not get done. I like my house to look nice and the food and everything else (tree and presents) to be great for Christmas, but I also don't want to feel stressed out and not enjoy our family and friends. It's a fine line one walks this time of year, I find. Christmas is still the most special holiday for me. I love it and even all the commercialism as well. I know...I know! I love seeing the decorated Malls and shops and houses and streets, and you name it! I have always had an eye for anything shiny...and I guess that's shiny...bling! bling!
