Try stuffing mushrooms with cheese and serve as an hors - d'oeuvre; they'll disappear in a blink of an eye, or give the meal a touch of elegance with stuffed baked potatoes. They are easily prepared; scoop out the center and mash it, then add sauteed onions or chopped green onions and refill the shells.
