Stuffed mushrooms are one of those recipes that practical cooks love; it makes delicious use of leftover mushrooms and is bound to please your crowd. This traditional dish is a cozy recipe for sure, but it’s filled with gluten, butter, dairy and a bunch of other ingredients that pack a day’s worth of unhealthy ingredients.
