Breaded Mushrooms Appetizer with Home Made Dip

On the same day I made the breaded turkey meatballs I decided to make something just before I start cooking. Something to munch on that will help lower the crazy levels of hunger I was in. I noticed that when I’m hungry or mad the food doesn’t come out right so making this little munch was a […]
