I *heart* Morels

I'm in agony right now.  I live down south.   In the middle of Florida. And its Morel season.  I can taste them.  Buttery. Kind of crunchy.  But I'm in Florida.  Central Florida.  There are no fried morel mushrooms for me here.  Button mushrooms, shiitakes even, but no morels *sad face*

THE Casserole

One of my favorite meals growing up was a chicken and broccoli casserole that my Dad claims to have concocted. I have seen variations of this casserole on numerous recipe sites so I’m not sure if Dad can completely claim that this is an original creation. Coincidentally my Mom also claims to be its inventor and has told me that it is based on some dish a friend in Germany once served them. I don’t really care who came up with it first. All I know is that it’s darn yummy.
