Marvelous Morels

Not only is it asparagus season, but the morel are up too!

Wild food hunting and harvesting is rather new to me.  I first started going in search of natural foods last year and have to admit that I have become addicted.  It’s like a treasure hunt, as you never know what you will find.

The other day when we were out mushroom hunting, we found two large morel mushrooms.  I know with mushrooms you really have to know your stuff as many can be poisonous.  My husband knows his mushrooms, and over the last year, has turned me into a mushroom connoisseur.  With a large stash of wild asparagus and two morel mushrooms, we headed home and cooked up a feast.  We sautéed the mushrooms in garlic oil and added them to our pasta.

I used to love going to the grocery store to shop for healthy foods before…
