easy gourmet appetizers gluten free

Last week I had a fabulous girls’ night out at Clothes Mentor. It’s only my favorite consignment store around, with an extra discount, girlfriends, and food – it can’t get much better! I took some easy gourmet and gluten-free appetizers featuring Rose Romano’s Gourmet Marinara Topping. They were really so easy and would be perfect for a holiday party this year.

I made Mini Hamburger and Italian Pepper Stuffed Peppers and Gorgonzola and Italian Pepper Stuffed Crimini Mushrooms. My recommendation is to have a way to keep them warm as they cool easily and they taste better warm. I could eat the stuffed peppers all day long. So yummy you can’t “eat just one”, they are delicious hot or cold. I also love the mushrooms as long as they are warm. I would serve these straight out of the oven at my holiday party.

  1. Yumm.. I love that they are gluten free and the recipe will come in handy this Christmas Season, we have so many parties to attend and each we need to bring something; this is simple and different and I know everyone will love it..thanks for a great idea

    1. If you like blue cheese you would probably like gorgonzola. My husband isn’t a fan but when it is used with a light hand it adds a nice note to dishes without overpowering and he likes it.

    1. I know what you mean. When you really think about it there are so many options but I feel like when I try really hard to figure it out I go blank on interesting things.
