Think Outside the Can: Morel

Countless numbers of us, on a daily basis, are faced with the challenge of filling multiple roles. We must be spouses, parents, professionals, etc., and still find time and energy after all that to be health-conscious individuals! Life shouldn't be an exhausting struggle, it should be a collection of one enjoyable, memorable, fulfilling, experience after another, should it not? I mean, pardon the cliché, but life's too short to let it be anything else.

I am a self-proclaimed food hobbyist on a quest to find delicious, healthy, fast, easy-to-make recipes and to successfully make those food adjectives actually belong together in a sentence. I am looking for after work meals that don't come out of a can, that I can enjoy preparing after a long work day, that my family will enjoy eating, and that will allow me to rest assured knowing that we are eating healthy. When I find these meals, I wish to share them with others. Cheers :)

One lonely lil Morel

Well we've gone out in search of morels a total of 4 times, not to much avail unfortunately.

In our search we were able to find 1 morel - hardly enough to do an entire recipe (or recipes) and share them with you here....and we call ourselves shroomers?!? lol it's laughable, really.....we did anticipate this year's conditions resulting in a poor yield though, and we talked to a fellow shroomer who has had about as much luck as we have :(

Isn't he lovely?

So we took our poor unfortunate little yellow morel home with us, and cooked 'im up (sauteed in butter)....served him atop toasted mini croissants.

This is actually my favorite way to eat morels, simple and delicious. They have a mild flavor, and I find their taste is often overpowered when cooked "in things", but nonetheless, they are a delicious addition to just about any sauce.

Cheers,
Hoping for better luck next year
