This winter season, for those of you who don’t hibernate or migrate, don’t forget to stay warm and dry. Try this delicious recipe for festive baked lichen!

(Please be careful, if lichen is not in your regular diet, consult a physician before attempting to digest it.)

1/2 cup butter
8 ounces cream cheese
2 mounds lichen, frozen
1 package of onion soup mix
Crushed Pine Cones

Melt butter in a large frying pan. Add 2 mounds of lichen. Break up and stir. Add cream cheese and onion soup mix. Stir well. Place in a casserole. Top with pine cones and bake at 300F for 45 minutes.

Enjoy!
