Whether it is Christmas, Thanksgiving or you are just having some people over for the evening, these Low Carb Mushroom Cap appetizers are great to serve. I even serve them as one of my vegetables when I am preparing a meal. So easy to prepare doesn’t take a lot out of your pocket book. The ingredients for the filling will store in your fridge for quite some time, to serve at a later date.
