Stuffed Mushrooms with Sunflower Sage Cream and Rosemary
Phase one of our construction project is finally coming to an end. The house is beautiful, the views to die for and we have finally moved out of the downstairs office and are actually living in the main house! As I look back over the last 7 months, I honestly don’t know how we did it. Living with a house full of construction workers popping up everywhere, the nail guns, the compressors, the dust and dirt! And If I am going to be completely honest, I struggled to keep up with the blog.
All my creativity was being poured into the house, not recipes. And there was constant noise and distraction. It took a tole. The holidays came and I just let go and enjoyed the festivities with my family. It was a super special Christmas Eve as my beloved proposed in front of a roaring fire, with the snow swirling outside. It couldn’t have been more perfect. I am thrilled.
So many wonderful distractions kept pulling me away, but this morning, after a long hike through the fog, I finally found the spark that got me back into the kitchen. I was so inspired, I worked on both a raw and cooked version of this wonderful dish. For those of you who can’t eat nuts, I made the sage rosemary cream with sunflower seeds! Sunflower seeds can be a little bitter and the recipe took a bit of tweaking before I was satisfied. Make sure you include all the ingredients for the best results.
You have your choice of using a dehydrator to make this (raw) or the oven (cooked). I want to be able to help out all of you who want healthy recipes but don’t have a dehydrator, or aren’t concerned about having everything raw. It is great raw and delicious cooked! A wonderful, hearty recipe to satisfy you on these cold winter nights.

I’m working towards raw till 4, but I have yet to find a way to comfortably eat raw mushrooms. Any tips? I’m definitely going to give this a try! It seems like it might balance out the taste of raw mushroom. I love mushrooms, but I’ve never eaten them raw until I decided I wanted to go raw till 4.

Great to have both raw and a cooked version, as I tend to zip back and forth (congrats re proposal and welcome back!)

Thanks for letting me know, Claire! I have been wanting to do this for quite a while. I know there are a lot of people out there that want to make the recipes but don’t have a dehydrator, or just want vegan and are not concerned if they are raw. Cheers!
