Many of you know the very generous and talented Amanda from I Am Baker and I Am Mommy. Amanda has become a dear friend over the past year. Even though we have never met in person, we “chat” almost everyday with a group of other wonderful blogging friends. Amanda has provided support, friendship, laughter and love to our gaggle of friends. Now, it is our turn to shower her with some love!
Amanda is expecting a sweet baby boy in the next couple of days – her 4th kiddo! We have come together as a virtual group, since we can’t all meet in person, to throw a baby shower for her. It won’t be the same as getting to pat her little belly or “oooohhhh and ahhhhhh” over tiny little baby diapers and clothes, but hopefully Amanda will feel our hugs and love through the internet waves. We can’t wait to “meet” I Am Baby Boy Baker and hope that you’ll visit the other shower participants to see what everyone is cooking up to welcome him into the world! (Make sure to scroll to the bottom for my contribution to the shower… Special Stuffed Mushrooms!)

Congrats to Amanda!
One of my favorite baby shower treats! These look like perfect bites, Kristen.
Happy Shower, Amanda!
A party isn’t complete without a stuffed mushroom, kinda like a pregnant mushroom. YUM!
Yummy! And I ditto what Amy said! LOL! A pregnant mushroom! LOoove it!
Stuffed mushrooms are the hit of every party and these are lookin’ mighty tasty!
Stuffed mushrooms are always my favorite appetizers at parties. I love the mixture of creamy cream cheese and mozzarella that you used.
OH I would give anything for one of these mushrooms right now!! Noone else in my family likes them, so I never make them…maybe I’ll make some for dinner and they can all sit and watch me eat?
I just know that Amanda loves these!!
WOW!! This recipe is a keeper… I am bookmarking it and saving it for the most special of occasions… like Tuesdays! 🙂
Thank you so much for your amazingly sweet and thoughtful kind words… I am SO blessed to call you friend and SO blessed to be inspired by you!!!
LOVE TO YOU!!!
Amanda
YUM!

I love to eat stuffed mushrooms, but have never made them!!! These sound delicious Kristen!
I LOVE stuffed mushrooms…and THESE looks wonderful!
Yay for i am baker baby!!!
I love the addition of the chili powder! Makes me want to experiment with different herbs and spices.
Yum! I love stuffed mushrooms… One of my favorite appetizers! These are perfect for a baby shower, but are also great for a dinner party or any other occasion. Love them 🙂
Oh Kristen, I’m so excited about this recipe. I love stuffed mushrooms of any kind, but usually the recipes I find have some sort of seafood in the stuffing. James won’t eat seafood unless it’s a battered and deep fried cod. (I blame the Blackpool – where he grew up.) But he will certainly love these! Especially the addition of chili powder.
Perfect for a shower! Congrats to Amanda!
I could eat stuffed mushrooms as a meal – yours look delicious! Thanks for blessing dear Amanda!!
I love stuffed mushrooms! And I think the entire virtual baby shower was SO sweet!
Bookmarked! This is one of my all time favorite things to eat. I will eat about 20 of these over a meal anyday!
And I love that lead shot!
So fun that you are all doing this for her. Love hopping around seeing what everyone is ‘bringing to the party’ 🙂 And totally love this recipe… saving it for later.
Wow, after seeing this recipe and all the others, I think you need to have a “real” baby shower !! Or maybe we each need to have one with these awesome recipes!!!
MMMMMMM. This sounds delicious. I can’t wait to see this little baby 🙂
stuffed mushrooms are always on my go-to list of appetizers to take to a party . . . but honestly, i wish i had these now for my lunch – i think i could easily eat an entire batch by myself!
Mmmm….stuffed mushrooms? Yes, please!! I WILL be making this one!
You have to have stuffed mushrooms and those are making my tummy rumble just looking at them!! Congrats on the baby Amanda 🙂
I love the idea for this baby shower! And I always love stuffed mushrooms… Especially with a little chili powder 🙂
Stuffed mushrooms may seriously be one of my favorite things ever! These look glorious!
Love the idea of a virtual shower for such a sweet person.
Kristin, I cannot begin to tell you how much I have been loving this virtual baby shower for Amanda. You gals throw quite a party. I would be all over these cheesy stuffed mushrooms 🙂 xo
Oh My Goodness!
These look so YUM!
This is the SWEETEST thing that you Girlies did for Amanda!
It has almost brought me to tears.
THIS is what BLOGGING is all about!
xo
HUGS!
How nice! Congrats to Amanda! That is a yummy way to make mushrooms.
This is one of my favorite foods! You girls are amazing for doing this!!!
What a great idea. Love the mushrooms and love how our blogging brings us all together!
What a fabulous idea for a boy’s baby shower. Congratulations to Amanda and her family! Thanks for sharing your lovely recipe. I’ll have to try these for my next dinner party!
Such a cute idea for Amanda, who is so very talented!
Thanks for your recipe!!
Mmmm I am so craving stuffed mushrooms right now…
Brilliant idea! I could always use more ideas for classy finger foods. Congratulations, Amanda, and well done to you girls for a baby shower to remember!
Hi Kristen,
What a cute and clever idea to host this baby shower. All the cooks here are so talented! I have to say your photo is so pretty with the mushrooms, I love the tone of it. I ran into Amanda’s blog only a few weeks ago and fell in love right away, I even have my Ma hooked on her cakes. I have no idea how she bakes and decorates all those lovely cakes with 3 kiddies and one on the way, I think I would be found face down in my cake at that point! Hope all is well and hey I enjoyed doing the Cooking Connection- it was really fun.

I’m so loving this baby shower!! So sweet of you all!
I’m also loving these stuffed mushrooms. I haven’t met a mushroom I didn’t like 🙂 The cheesy goodness in this one makes me very happy!
Mmmh wow interesting no but yeah it’s nice though :)_
I remember when I first had stuffed mushrooms round a friends house and I fell in love with them. I keep on forgetting how easy and quick they are to make. I’m sure to give this ago for a early Christmas treat 🙂
