I was lucky enough to connect with Robin, the creator of the scrumptious, all-natural artisanal Out of the Weeds dressings and marinades a few weeks ago on Facebook. I had heard of both her amazing creations and Three Birds Tavern restaurant in St. Pete, but had never met in person nor had I had the chance to sample her products.
After learning that she would be participating in upcoming Winn Dixie Hyde Park events, including sampling some of her dressings at the most recent event promoting Thanksgiving day deals and Curtis Stone’s visit, I was excited that this would finally be my chance to taste and chat with this local foodie celebrity!
I was able to sample all three of the dressings and must say that the Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette was by far my favorite. It was sweet yet tangy, making this the perfect product for topping salads (think caprese!), dipping veggies (or cocktail shrimp!) into, or marinating your favorite proteins in! My culinary wheels were spinning and I quickly purchased a bottle of it.
As I was thinking about how to use my very first bottle of Out of the Weeds dressing, I kept going back to Thanksgiving and how I might be able to use the Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette with a recipe for our meal.
And that’s when it hit me: Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms!
I LOVE stuffed mushrooms. They’re such a classic crowd-pleaser, especially for holiday gatherings. And these little gems did not disappoint! They’re stuffed with a mix of Out of the Weeds Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette, Italian sausage, Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic and oat flour (yes, these babies are gluten free!). And because I cannot get enough of that delicious dressing, I decided to eat the stuffed mushrooms dipped in a little extra sauce, which put them over-the-top!

Great little recipe thanks for this Steph. Going to try something similar but with portobello mushrooms.
