Rustic Potato Chowder with Bacon. After one bite I knew we would have to recreate it for Lemony Thyme. It’s hearty enough to enjoy as a meal and easy enough to become a weeknight favorite.

The cold weather season triggers something special in the brain. Whirling twirling ideas of how to make our favorite seasonal dishes even better than last year. Noooo I’m not referring to pumpkin recipes :) For me that something special would be soups. All kinds of glorious soups, of both the brothy and creamy persuasion. I took a good hard look at our Soups, Stews & Chilis category to see where there might be a void. Continue reading »

I made these. Hee hee.
I’m as surprised as anyone at how easy it is to make Homemade English Muffins, all while your family sleeps. When my family came downstairs this morning and met me in the kitchen, I had a grin on my face a mile wide. Care for an English Muffin? Continue reading »

This Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Stromboli recipe could easily be adapted to ingredients already in your fridge and pantry. However the star ingredient and what brings it all together is the puff pastry sheet. I recommend keeping a box in your freezer for just such an occasion. Continue reading »

Chicken Chilaquiles. Chee-lah-KEE-less. Chicken-ala-cheese-ness.
There are about a bazillion corn tortillas in a package. Have you noticed that? No matter what recipe I make with them, inevitably I will have half a bazillion leftover. That’s what led me to this classic Mexican dish. Chilaquiles are traditionally made from corn tortillas that may have been hanging around for a bit…aka stale. Continue reading »

Let me tell you about Spinach & Goat Cheese Quick Bread. Sautéed spinach and goat cheese are the signature ingredients yet there’s so much more happening here. Fresh rosemary and thyme, cracked black pepper, garlic and lemon zest are swirled throughout this moist and tender bread. Continue reading »

This month’s issue of Food Network Magazine is all about Quick Breads. Fifty to be exact. I had to throw my hat in the ring and have a go at it. So I made two of them. Two savory breads with fresh herbs and cheeses and aromatics. My kitchen was a swirling aroma happy place. Continue reading »
