We have a guest in the kitchen! We welcome The Girl on Bloor back into our kitchen and we couldn’t be more excited. Just in time for the holidays, Taylor is sharing a drool-worthy party app that will disappear fast! It may call for a double batch…
Hey everyone! Taylor here from The Girl on Bloor blog – I’m a full-time blogger that has lived on and off Bloor Street in downtown Toronto for the past six years. I just graduated with a Master’s degree in Journalism from Ryerson University, and have been developing recipes, taking photos and doing social media marketing for my own blog and other clients for the past year. It’s been an incredible journey so far, and I’m so excited to see what fun projects I’ll get to work on next!
It’s no secret that I’m a GIANT fan of mushrooms. I sneak some into just about every recipe I can, and they are a staple to have on hand in the fridge. I enjoy them year-round in a variety of recipes – anytime I have an excuse to whip up a delicious pasta, pizza, omelet or stir fry with mushrooms is a good day in my books. This mushroom meatballs recipe is a twist on one of my family’s favourite appetizers, and just one of the newest experiments I’ve undergone with my favourite veggie. I hope you love them as much as I do!
