Ingredients in this stuffed mushrooms recipe
You can make stuffed mushrooms a million different ways. Our favorite is our spinach artichoke stuffed portabello mushrooms, which are stunning and work as a side or vegetarian dinner. But what about when you want to stuff the little guys, like for party food? Enter this stuffed baby bella mushrooms recipe! We customized it to be quick and simple to put together. Here’s what you’ll need:
Cremini mushrooms, also called baby bellaOlive oilShallotWalnuts (or omit and use more breadcrumbs, but we like the crunch!)ParsleyItalian panko (see notes below)Grated Parmesan cheese (the powdery kind)Salt and pepper
Let’s talk through a few of the special ingredients, then we’ll get to the method!
Find cremini mushrooms, aka baby bellas
Cremini mushrooms are a small mushroom with a round brown top. Also known as baby bella mushrooms, it’s one of the most widely consumed mushroom varieties in the world. Here are a few fun facts about the cremini:
Cremini mushrooms are the same variety as button mushrooms and portobellos. White mushrooms, aka button mushrooms, are an earlier growth stage, so they have a milder flavor. Portobello mushrooms are the oldest stage, so they have the most meaty and savory flavor.What do they taste like? Cremini mushrooms have an earthy, savory flavor that tastes like a milder version of a portobello and a more developed version of a white mushroom.Can you substitute white mushrooms here? Yes! If you can’t find cremini or baby bella, go with white or button mushrooms.
Look for Italian style Panko or breadcrumbs
Another important part of this stuffed mushrooms recipe? Finding Italian-style panko. If you can’t find that, go to Italian breadcrumbs! Here’s what to know:
Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb mixture that is airier and lighter than traditional breadcrumbs: we like it here because it’s crunchier! But breadcrumbs work just as well. “Italian” means herbs and salt are added. You should be able to find Italian panko or panko easily at your local grocery store.What to do if you can’t find them? Use plain panko or breadcrumbs and add salt and Italian seasonings. Mix the ½ cup panko with ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano and ¼ teaspoon each dried basil and thyme).
How to make stuffed mushrooms: a few tips!
We engineered this stuffed mushrooms recipe to be simpler than most. That means no sautéing filling ingredients: just chop them up and fill the mushrooms! Here are a few things to note about the method (or jump to the recipe below):
Use a parchment lined baking sheet, or brush it with oil. Parchment helps for easy clean up!Chop the filling ingredients, then spoon them in! Drizzle a hint of olive oil over the tops to help with browning. Roast until just tender. It should be 15 to 20 minutes depending on your oven. Roasting too long makes them soggy, so take care not to over bake. Garnish if you like! We like adding a hint of paprika to the tops for color (not necessarily flavor). Smoked paprika does add a nice hint of smoke if you have it.
Leftover storage info
Once you pull these stuffed mushrooms out of the oven, they’re best right away! Because mushrooms contain a lot of moisture, they can become soggy over time. If you’re leaving out a tray at a party, try to minimize the time that they’re out if possible.
These mushrooms are best right away, but you can save leftovers! Store refrigerated for up to 2 days. They still taste amazing, though the texture is not crunchy. If you’d like, you can reheat them in a 350 degree oven to revive the crunchy texture!

Description
This stuffed mushrooms recipe will make you say wow! It’s easy to put together and perfect for entertaining….or snacking.
1 1/2 pounds cremini mushrooms, aka baby bella (3 8-ounce packages or 20 to 24 mushrooms)
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
Fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons shallot, finely minced
¼ cup finely chopped walnuts (or omit and substitute more breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons finely minced parsley
½ cup Italian panko or breadcrumbs (gluten-free as necessary)*
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Paprika or smoked paprika, for the garnish
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Clean the mushrooms and gently remove the stems.
Pat the mushrooms dry with a towel and place them in a large bowl. Mix them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or brush it with olive oil. Add the mushrooms in a single layer on top.
In a medium bowl, mix the minced shallot, chopped walnuts, minced parsley, Italian panko*, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Spoon the filling into the mushrooms. Lightly drizzle the tops with olive oil (just a small drizzle).
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked and golden brown on top. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of paprika and additional chopped parsley if you like. (Leftovers last 2 days refrigerated, but the filling is less crunchy. You can reheat them in a 350 degree oven until warmed through.)
Notes
*We recommend Italian panko or Italian breadcrumbs because they’re already seasoned. Panko is best since it’s the lightest and crunchiest. If all you can find is regular panko or breadcrumbs, mix ½ cup panko with ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt and ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning (or 1 teaspoon dried oregano and ¼ teaspoon each dried basil and thyme).

Methods to Wear Barrettes, 10 Simple Ways to Style Barrettes
Q: What are Barrettes?
A: Barrettes refer to bar-shaped hair accessories, including a wide variety of hair clips and hair pins. While they are most-often used to hold your hair back or keep it in place in a certain style, barrettes are also useful as decorative accessories. Typically, they serve both a functional and ornamental purpose in any given hairstyle—which makes barrettes ideal as everyday hair accessories.
Q: Are Barrettes Still in style this year?
A: Barrettes can be used to style a wide range of hair types and lengths. They are one of the most versatile hair accessories. Barrettes first became popular in the 1980s and 1990s, and they remain in style today. Whether you’re hoping to add some pizzazz to your everyday hairstyles or just want to keep your hair out of your face, keep reading to learn how to wear barrettes in stylish ways in this year!
1. How to Wear Barrettes – Clip Back a Bob

Bobs—especially shorter, chin-length bobs—are in-between haircuts that can be tough to style. You might find yourself spending 30 minutes or more every morning straightening or curling your bob.
Give yourself a break from the effort and your hair a break from the daily heat by clipping your bob back with two large barrettes like in the picture above. You’ll have a fun and carefree hairstyle in no time, and you won’t have to keep pushing your hair out of your face all day long.
2. How to Style Barrettes: Add Texture
credit
If you want to add interest and intrigue to your hairstyle, try clipping one or both sides of your hair back with multiple different barrettes.
Embellishing your hair with barrettes that are made from different materials and textures instantly make your hairstyle look more interesting and unique without much effort on your end.
3. Put a Twist on a Ponytail

A large barrette can help you put a twist on a classic ponytail by weaving in a hair accessory in a practical way. All you have to do is gather your hair at the nape of your neck and clip it all back in a single large barrette—or two large barrettes if you have very thick hair.
If any pieces of hair fall out of your quasi-ponytail in front, use smaller barrettes or hair pins to clip them back. Or, just leave them loose to give your hairstyle a more carefree finish.
4. Get Fancier

You can utilize barrettes in both ornamental and practical ways in more formal hairstyles as well. In an updo such as the braided style pictured above, you can use barrettes to clip back sections of your hair while also adding their own unique style to your hair look.
Pearl barrettes are the perfect embellished barrette choice for more formal hairstyles because they are elegant and eye-catching without looking gaudy.
5. Clip Back One Side

Both sides of your hair don’t always have to be symmetrical. You can use one ore more barrettes to clip back one side of your hair while leaving the other side of your hair free.
This hair look adds interest to your hairstyle and keeps one side of your hair out of your face while leaving the other side free to style as you normally would or however you want.
6. Make a Barrette Headband

This barrette-embellished hairstyle works well with a wide variety of hair types, including straight, curly, and natural hair. Clipping back the front pieces of your hair with multiple barrettes creates a unique look that has about the same practical effect as a headband.
You can use more simple barrettes for a more practical style, and more embellished barrettes like the pearl barrettes pictured above for a more glamorous, eye-catching look. Pro tip: apply a small amount styling oil or serum before clipping in the barrettes to achieve a smoother look in front.
7. Keep it Simple
credit
If you just want a simple hairstyle that makes your hair look “done” without putting much effort into actually styling it, grab two barrettes. You can use simple barrettes that are close to your hair color for a more natural look, or colorful barrettes such as the ones pictured above for a more carefree and playful style.
Parting your hair in the middle and clipping up each side with two barrettes takes about five minutes to actually do, but it will get you plenty of compliments on your hairstyle all day long. Plus, it keeps your hair out of your face.
8. Hold Your Hair Half-Up Half-Down

Half-up, half-down hairstyles are timeless. Just like barrettes, these practical and convenient hairstyles seems like they’ll never go out of style.
If you’re tired of holding up half of your hair with a standard scrunchie or other hairband, try a barrette instead. An ornamental barrette like the beautiful metal floral barrette in the picture above can do wonders to add interest and intrigue to a classic half-up, half-down hairstyle.
9. Embellish a Pixie
Pixie cuts are intriguing enough on their own, but a barrette can add an extra bit of pizzazz you might not have even known your pixie was missing.
For pixie cuts as short as the one above, barrettes are primarily ornamental and don’t serve much of a practical function. However, you can also use a barrette on longer pixies to clip back certain sections of hair and switch up your look from time to time. If you’re going to cut your hair short this time, check out the short hairstyles gallery to get some inspritions.
10. Hold Your Bangs in Place
credit
A barrette can do wonders for clipping your bangs back and keeping them out of your face for any length of time. If you’re growing out your bangs, barrettes can be lifesavers for keeping your hairstyles seamless throughout the inevitable awkward stage.
Even if you’re not growing out your bangs and plan to keep them cut short for a while, you can use a barrette or two to switch up your hairstyle, try out a new look, or keep your bangs from driving you crazy on any day when you’re sick of your fringe getting in your way.

There are side panels to avoid bulges, for larger breasts, and the fabric doesn’t restrict arm movement. The cup design creates a nice, natural shape and doesn’t flatten your bust.
Our testers said this is a comfortable, lightly padded bra that separates your breasts and doesn’t create a uni-boob look. Broader straps give comfort and better fit. It’s so comfortable and supportive that testers in large cup sizes were really keen on it, as well as the A – C group!
One of the most annoying side-effects of gravity-hit breasts is that you may start to develop an irritating ‘sweat rash’ underneath. This happens most in countries with a hot climate, like Australia and parts of the U.S., in the summer. And even the U.K. has short spells of hot weather, which causes this unsightly problem. However, a good uplifting bra stops this itchy rash.
But speaking from my own experience; when I switched to a full-cup, supportive bra with broad straps to lift my own sagging bust, I instantly re-discovered my waist! So wearing one of these 8 best bras for sagging breasts can be the best way to look slimmer!

How to wear thigh high boots in real life:
1. Thigh-high boots & eye-catching coats
@michaela_rb 💕 The Winner of Miss Boots July 2021💕😍 Simply lovely💕 Go follow her and show some love💕
Wear thigh-high boots with an eye-catching coat, which could be the latest plaid or check pattern, so you avoid the boots being the main fashion point of your ensemble. Wear a modest woollen jumper and skirt suit of a dull gray-green, ribbed knitted fabric that just covers the knee and black, suede thigh-highs, plus a handbag that matches your coat. And another way of avoiding making your boots the main item in your outfit is to choose beige or cream colored boots.
2. Thigh high boots & plaid pinafore dresses

Wear a checked or plaid dress or pinafore dress, so you’re warmly covered up to the neck. A brightly colored red check or plaid, with a black polo-neck sweater will look super-smart with thigh-high, close-fit, black leather boots. Or wear a plain-colored, almost knee-length, shift dress in this winter’s gem colors, like dark purple, dark-blue, burgundy, deep pink, mustard-yellow or forest-green with Ganni’s wide-leg, patchwork boots. This style has black, brown, navy and a pastel color in 5 pieces of patchwork so you can create a Boho look with a totally different thigh-high boot vibe.
3. Thigh-high boots & chunky sweaters

You can wear a black-leather skirt with an asymmetric, zip-up, split at the front, with your thigh-high boots, but make sure the hem comes down to knee-length. The real key to a chic look is to avoid overtly sexy garments and team your boots with more regular clothes. So if you find some fabulous thigh-high boots with criss-cross lacing up the front, make sure your other clothes are fairly modest.
4. Thigh-high boots & shirt dresses
Spring outfit ideas for women: Thigh-high boots & shirt dresses

You could try a scooped-neck, thick-knit, textured jumper in blue and gray, over black tights and soft, velveteen thigh-high boots that fit the leg like a sock.
Add one of the latest silk-scarves, tied imaginatively around the neck for style and warmth and carry a black handbag. Teaming your thigh boots with opaque tights and a short skirt is fashionable, if you wear a loose-fitting dress or skirt.
7. Thigh-high boots & sporty look
If you fancy a sporty look with thigh-high boots, why not go bright with a 90’s Fila sweatshirt in navy, white and red. Wear with a red midi-skirt, with an over-the-knee split and a small, red handbag. Look out for red thigh-boots if you want to put together a really stunning look. Fendi make some fabulous red canvas boots, with leather uppers and Gio make red leather boots.

Since it’s been decided that we should be getting more wear out of our clothes, winter and summer garments should be worn layered at any time of the year. And that also means you can wear white in warm and cold weather. But a lot of us won’t want to wait until winter to try out the beautiful white, suede boots currently on offer!
White suede boots can be worn with a pretty, floral summer dress when the temperature isn’t high. And this look can be topped off with one of the cute cropped cardigans in the shops right now.

A leather pair of over-the-knee boots make a tailored pair of khaki Bermuda shorts feel edgy as ever.

7 Best Sports Bra with regard to Small Breasts, Look and Feel Excellent While You Get Fit!
Why do you need a sports bra for small breasts? Breast tissue is a delicate material and without adequate support it will change. And even if your bust is smaller than average, you still need support and modesty cover. If you favor low to medium impact exercise activities like yoga, Pilates and jogging, a low to medium support sports bra will be fine. However, if you like to do aerobics, HIIT, CrossFit or running, then you should invest in a more supportive sports bra.
Sports bras for small breasts are usually ‘compression’ bras that work by holding your bust tight to the chest to prevent movement. They don’t have underwires and are mostly styled to look like a bralette or a cropped top. However, some, like the padded, Your Handful – Adjustable Sports Bra look more like an ordinary bra and are popular with breast cancer survivors.

Our teams are chosen from regular women, who wear a selection of bras for a minimum of two days, before reporting back on every aspect.

7 Best Foundation Brushes for Beginners
So you already have the perfect foundation. It has the coverage you want, mattifies your skin, and makes your pores instantly disappear. Good for you! But let me give you the cold hard truth—smooth, flawless skin doesn’t depend just on your foundation.
Yes, you heard that right. There are many other factors that will affect how well your foundation will glide on your skin. One of the most crucial ways to ensure your foundation will perform to the best of its abilities is by choosing the best foundation brush.
A bad foundation brush will leave your foundation streaky and unblended. At worst, you’ll have foundation lines across your face and your application will look unnatural. Using the best brush is truly key in perfecting your foundation look.
Here’s how to choose the best foundation brush, along with seven of our top recommendations depending on your need.
How to choose the best foundation brush for you
Meticulously picking out a good foundation brush may sound unnecessary to some, but if you’re committed to making your foundation application look pristine, it’s a non-negotiable. There are plenty of different kinds of foundation brushes by shape or bristle design.
There are three common foundation brush shapes—flat, balloon, and oval brushes. Each one brings something new to the table.
Flat foundation brushes offer the most coverage, since all it does is pack on your foundation onto your skin. It delivers the pigment straight to your skin, giving you an airbrushed, opaque finish. It’s fantastic paired with liquid foundations.
Meanwhile, balloon brushes are more curved towards the top. They’re more commonly used to powder foundations that you lightly swipe on your skin for sheer to medium coverage. These brushes are great for everyday use, where you don’t have to be extremely precise with your blending. They also help control shine and oiliness.
Oval brushes are perfect for gentle application, like for weightless BB creams or loose powder. They’re amazing at blending foundation, and you don’t even need to use that much pressure when using it.
Next, let’s talk about bristles. You can either choose between natural hair or synthetic fibers. Like the different foundation brush shapes, they have their own purpose too.
Natural hair is softer and more comfortable on the skin. They also blend your makeup better. However, they’re more expensive and drink up too much foundation. They’re also rarely cruelty-free, since they’re made of animal hair.
On the contrary, synthetic brushes are more affordable and accessible at any price point. They may not be the most comfortable on the skin, but you get the most out of your foundation since synthetic bristles don’t soak up too much of your makeup.

Learn how to wear Skinny Jeans along with Y2K
They don’t need to die in your closet anymore.
It’s no wonder by now that the y2k trend made a comeback and had a major glow-up. From pretty corsets to eye-catching necklaces, it has united the recent war between millennials and gen z.
With such a drastic clothing era becoming the defining moment of the post-pandemic fun, we sure can’t help but feel rather sidelined with our decade-long collection of band tees and skinny jeans. With straight-fit to flared pants being all the rage with those iconic baguettes, it can be hard for some of us under-budget survivors wanting to up their game in the fashion scene.
Here’s the good news: even if you don’t have the baggiest pants possible, here are some ways to give an applause to your mid 2010s love: by styling the skinny jeans with the new Y2K way!
The Classic Grunge
Almost an oxymoron, but the figure-loving jeans are a staple in the grunge subculture. Being a contrast to worn-out graphic tees and flannels, skinny jeans rocked this subculture.
via grunge_clothes on Instagram
If you love rock music and edgier aesthetics, pair your skinny jeans with an oversized full-sleeved tee for an effortless attire. Add on your sling purse to give it the baguette-feel of the y2k movement, along with a pair of chunky heels and wide belt (unhooked) to keep it polished nonetheless.
via grunge_clothes on Instagram
Another option to stand out than your regular grunge-loving attire would be to switch the dull shirt with some of its colorful counterparts, think a bright pink or green with accessories in metallic black.
Cutouts and Strings
If there is anything more significant than Y2K, it’s the heavy influx of cutouts! You would observe it in fashion shows, at your nearest stores and most often than not, in your old closet. We all own a top with cold-shoulders now don’t we?
via itanndy on Instagram
If you own a pair of skinny’s which are low-waisted the best way to work around them would be to wear high-rise swimming bottoms to show-off the strings, keeping it bold yet mesmerizing. To emphasize it more, pair it with a baby crop top to your liking.
If you’re someone with the love for high-waisted denim, don’t fret, the strings will be attached in the best ways! Match your jeans with a wrap-top, extending the stringy ends and tucking them in. Such an outfit is complimented best with a pair of lace-up heels and color-coded baguette.
Flaunt your shoes!
If you fancy a balance, then the top-heavy ratio can be equated with chunky accessories on your feet. With a few thumb rules, skinny jeans can be a boon for your footwear collection:
Boots
With the autumn-winter season round the corner and regulations, we are bound to move out for a frenzy. Yet, can we talk about the biggest advantage of wearing skinny jeans in the cold winters? Say hello to your iconic boots, be it cute knee or sensual thigh-high ones!
via poppybarley on Instagram
Boots can be the perfect statement accessory if you feel skinny jeans make your outfit bland and boring. For a y2k appeal, invest in a pair with square toes and chunky heels.
via lauraspilletts on Instagram
For the ones with an edgier soul, think faux leather texture which hits just right below the knee. Add a jacket with a crop top with strings to channel your inner edgy queen.
Add the girly girl to your light-coloured boots with as many colorful jewelries as possible, think pearl necklaces with accent beads, butterfly clips and flamboyant belts.
Laced-up heels
Looking to give your outfit a refreshing classy-touch? Switch your regular shoes to a laced-up affair, keeping the string of the heel above your jeans. Such a combination can be a bit experimental for some (or outdated), but if you don’t mind being the center of attention, this meant-to-last trend is worth a try.
via mmadalena.ramos on Instagram
To make the look unique, combine the lace with glittery anklets (bonus points if it has butterfly pendants) to give it a luxurious charm.
Sneakers ‘n Socks
A good pair of skinny jeans can never give you the construction-uniform silhouette. Cuff those hems just a few inches to make your socks the showstopper with a pair of white sneakers. Match the sporty aura with a sweatshirt of your choice and tinted glasses.
If you want to show your chunky Air Jordan’s, keep the hemline at its lowest while pairing the jeans with a bomber jacket and a ribbed tee underneath. Accessorize with a duffel bag (need not be the one you use for the gym!), along with chunky earrings.
Hands-on Love
If you’re more of the artsy type, revamp your old skinny jeans with faux patchwork or depict your raw emotions with acrylics. Thanks to us being in our homes for a streak longer than you ever did on Snapchat, we revived our love for the home-made and do-it-yourself agendas.
Patchwork Denim
A bit of an easy piece of cake for ones comfortable with sewing, patchworks can be a great way to personalise your multiple jeans into one iconic showstopper.
via jadedldn on Instagram
via jadedldn on Instagram
Different fabrics can be sewn together to create a collage effect, making it unique with a big advantage of reusing your old denims and spare fabric pieces.
Graphic Denims: Sew or Spray!
If you have ever been fascinated with sewing buttons as a play game in childhood, you might love expressing your ideas with hand embroidery! Falling easily in everyone’s budget, the colorful threads can lead to thought-provoking artworks on the back pocket of your jeans.
via vvhyilovethemoon on Instagram
via gatherwhatspills on Instagram
If you like your brushes and colours, dip into some acrylics for that handmade flair. Painting on your denim can not only be a great creative exercise, but also give your old jeans a new touch of your new personality. The best part? You don’t need to be highly skilled at painting, something as simple as your favorite quote in your handwriting can make heads turn.
Metallic Accents
If the skinny part of the jeans is what bothers you, an added chain on a slit hemline can go long in making you feel within the Y2K trends. A similar approach can be taken by removing the front pockets and instead of adding chain links to give the string-effect and highlighting the lower waist.
What have your ways been to work around skinny jeans while the flared ones are all the rage? Reusing your old clothes is a great way to manage your budget and be a sustainable fashion enthusiast! Subscribe to get more fashion tips on herstylecode.com!
