Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe with Feta Cheese and Kalamata Olives

Doesn't everyone just love stuffed mushrooms? If you're a meat-eater, you've probably had a version of mushrooms stuffed with some kind of sausage. This non-meat version uses mushroom stems, bread crumbs, kalamata olives, and feta cheese for the stuffing, and it's another recipe from my friend Georgette who made the World's Best Tzatziki Sauce I loved so much with my version of Lamb Shish Kabobs . http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2007/07/stuffed-mushrooms-recipe-with-feta.html
I can feel my chickpea obsession waning a bit, but before it completely ends I wanted to share another version of roasted chickpeas I tried, just as good as the Crispy Roasted Chickpeas with Moroccan Spices I made about a month ago. Chickpeas with soy sauce isn't something I've ever thought of combining before, but they really did taste great together. http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2008/03/recipe-for-chickpeas-garbanzo-beans.html

Am I the only one who was craving flautas/taquitos after seeing this post on The Kitchn last week? They looked amazing! We went through a phase a few years ago where we loved the frozen ones, but now they kind of weird me out so it’s been forever since I’ve had them.
