Mushroom and Spinach Strudel

vegan mushroom spinach strudel

This strudel is totally savory and uses prepackaged puff pastry to make your life way easier.  The Pepperidge Farms puff pastry just happens to be vegan, but obviously that means it is full of unpronounceables (less than I imagined)… but, hey, I’m compromising for time.  I don’t think I would serve this to my family on a regular basis, (maybe annually?) but I had some puff pastry in the freezer and, of course, mushrooms in the fridge.  I did spare some of the fat by sauteeing the veggies in broth, but the puff pastry trumps any good deeds done.

I did try, though, and I think that’s what counts.

Enjoy!

Hunting Season – Morels

morels

It’s that time of year again, and what an exciting time it is!  It is officially morel season which begins in April and can go until June.  If you’re in the mood for something gourmet for dinner tonight, go find it.  I can honestly say that these beautiful mushrooms are my absolute favorite food. We feasted this weekend on our finds (some shown above).  Try them sauteed in Earth Balance Margarine and served with asparagus on a bed of quinoa.  Absolutely Awesome.  For more info visit The Great Morel.
