Beef & Bean Chili
I will admit that I whipped up this Beef & Bean Chili for the sole purpose of picturing it….on a Baked Potato. That’s right. I’m about ready to share a big potato round-up I’ve been working on. Stay tuned…

Snow-Day Chicken Pot Pie
Snow-Day Chicken Pot Pie. We were snowed in again and completely made the best of it. Let me remind you we live in the sunny south, so snow days are few and far between. Stranded at home is my excuse to turn to my fridge/pantry for inspiration.

Shrimp Fried Farro
I had my heart set on Fried Rice. Having no rice in the house was just a minor set back. Introducing Shrimp Fried Farro. Welcome Winter Thyme 2014. Today is our second straight day of snowbound living for the second time this year. We live in the sunny south, where the peaches grow and our people are as sweet as our tea. We’re not accustomed to waking up to this, although I must say it’s quite beautiful.

Crab Louie Salad Sliders
Crab Louie Salad Sliders. The Crab Louie Salad has been around for over 100 years and first became popular on the West Coast of the United States (or was it King Louie himself who first dined on this salad…the world may never know). The salad consists of crisp lettuce, sliced tomato, hard boiled eggs, ripe olives, sometimes asparagus….and of course gorgeous crab meat which is tossed in Crab Louie Dressing.

Pulled Pork Baked Potato {with a side of slaw}
Pulled Pork Baked Potato {with a side of slaw}. I choose to view leftovers as an opportunity. You know those small containers of last night’s dinner that tend to hang around for a day or five until they become unrecognizable (at least to those of us without a science degree). Don’t let that happen to you. Start looking at them as Potato Toppers. I promise you when we made Slow Braised Boston Butt Pork Roast, baked potatoes were the last thing from my mind.

Tom Yum Soup {Thai Hot & Sour Soup}
It had been entirely too long since I stood embraced by the best hugger I know. My kid! She delivers the kind of hug that reaches through the front of you and radiates out to the tips of your fingers and toes. The kind that inspires you to start a blog post about Tom Yum Soup {Thai Hot & Sour Soup} with a hug.

Italian Sausage Soup {with Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers}
Italian Sausage Soup {with Mushrooms, Onions & Peppers}. Like many of our favorites, this recipe happened by accident. While making one of our go-to week night meals (Jennie-O Hot Italian Turkey Sausage with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes) I came to realize my favorite part of the dish was the broth. The awe-mazing broth.
