About the Chef

Oregon, United States
My name is Alexia. I have lived in NE Oregon for most of my life, and love it here because it's where my family is. I have 3 younger sisters, 3 younger brothers, and a million cousins. I live with my husband and our three boys, and our dog Norman. My family is Greek/ Cajun/ Mexican, so food is very important to us;-) I love cooking and creating new recipes, my kids, my family, wine, painting, and everything retro! I am a dialysis technician. I love my job and my patients. I am currently studying to be a nurse. I love school, and so far it has been good to me... Dean's List or Honor Roll each term! Between work, school, my husband, our kids and all of their activities and adventures, I don't have a ton of time to blog. I love sharing recipes, so I make time for it when I can. You can follow me on Pinterest for more ideas and inspiration (thanks to those of you that have pinned my recipes!): pinterest.com/lexisamom .

Oregon Morel Mushrooms

My bff got some Morels the other day. Oh my gosh, they are so good. If you have never tried them and you have the chance, try them. They are amazing.

Of course we washed and soaked them, and cut off the gross parts.

I had about a half a pound. I tossed them in a stainless steel skillet with about a tablespoon of salted butter (if you use unsalted add a teaspoon of salt) and let them cook for about five minutes on medium heat.

Then I added 2 tablespoons of dry white wine, two cloves of garlic, and black pepper. I let them cook for about five more minutes.

Before serving them, I sprinkled fresh minced parsley on them.  And duh, we ate them with wine:-)
