The Voice's Tribute for Sandy Hook Elementary

Everyone in the country is still trying to make sense of the horrific tragedy that occurred on Friday in Newton, CT.  Words can't express how sad I am for all the families who lost their loved ones, many of which were children.  In one of the most touching performances I've ever seen, the Voice opened tonight with a tribute to the victims of Sandy Hook Elementary.  It will leave you in tears.  


Hold your loved ones tight!

Wine and Dine: Shroomtown

Well hello there world, it's been awhile! Yesterday I took my last final and got a much needed break from the craziness of work.  To celebrate, Shana threw a fantastic wine tasting party! Okay, so it wasn't really for me.  But, it was just what I needed - fun times with all my closest gal pals.  For the occasion, I made goat-cheese stuffed mushrooms to pair with my wine assignment, Cabernet Sauvignon.  Although I didn't come out the winner overall and was stripped of my crown, {good job AGK} I thought these made a great appetizer! Nom-Nom

Ingredients
Olive oil
3 slices white sandwich bread
1 small garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1 log (5 ounces) soft goat cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt
2 packages (10 ounces each) white button mushrooms, stems removed

Directions 
- Preheat over to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a food processor, pulse bread and garlic until fine crumbs form; set 1/2 cup aside.  To food processor, add goat cheese, parsley, and red-pepper flakes.  Season with salt, and pulse filling until combined.
- Spoon filling into each mushroom, and roll filled side in reserved breadcrumbs.  Place on prepared baking sheet; bake until mushrooms are tender and lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes.

*Thank you Martha as always.



End of night.  #somuchlove
