Yesterday I jumped in with both feet and came up with three salads I think you’ll really enjoy!
The first up is this festive Pear, Pomegranate & Pecan Spinach Salad with Pomegranate Maple Vinaigrette!
You see, I was somewhere between planning our Family Thanksgiving menu and scheduling an upcoming Holiday Luncheon when I realized a serious void on Lemony Thyme. I’m really slacking in the festive salad category.
That was then, this is now!

When it comes to preparing Herb Browned Butter Stuffing of Love I can’t think of a recipe that makes me happier!
I know that’s a bold statement for someone who spends hours and hours in the kitchen. However, of all the food groups (and yes stuffing is a food group), stuffing is the one! It evokes emotion.
Warm and fuzzy emotion!

Fresh Green Bean & Mushroom Casserole with Crispy Shallots will definitely be on our Thanksgiving table.
Whenever I bring up favorite Thanksgiving sides in conversation, Green Bean Casserole always rises near the top. Even though Stuffing seems to be the emotional favorite.
Hello carbs!

Creamy Mashed Potato Casserole gets a little flavor love with the addition of sour cream and cream cheese.
This recipe is the perfect make ahead side dish that can be reheated in the oven or the microwave.
These creamy potatoes are fluffy with a nice buttery flavor.
Perfect if you ask me!

This How-To Make Bread Cubes for Stuffing is the first step in making stuffing.
Separating this process into a separate blog post is a way for me to more efficiently explain my stuffing-making-method.
And considering stuffing itself is considered a food group in my house…it deserves all the love and attention I can provide.

Greek Chicken & Rice Soup, also known as Avgolemono, is a wonderfully hearty soup with fresh bursts of lemon throughout.
As we head squarely into soup season this creamy delicious pot of love deserves to be on rotation.

When you’re planning a game day menu, you bet these Chili Cheese Dog Tailgate Sliders will be included.
You’ve got a two bite slider roll bursting with Hot Dog Chili, ‘Lil Smokies, and Cheddar Cheese?!!
Tailgate Party Perfection!

avocado, cherry tomatoes, corn on the cob, cucumber, dijon mustard, feta cheese, honey, mixed greens, olive oil, red onion, sherry vinegar
This From The Earth Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette is aptly named after our nearby brewery where it can be found on the menu.
The ingredients in this salad are simple and colorful and fresh. Tangy feta, with blistered tomatoes and crisp corn pair perfectly with creamy avocado and fresh cucumber and greens.
Then there’s the Sherry Vinaigrette. Just the right balance of vinegar to honey to aromatic shallot and garlic.

I am coming off such an incredible weekend and needed Monday’s dinner to be as easy as Cacio e Pepe. Served Two Ways!
The first way is rather traditional made with spaghetti and lots of cheese and pepper!
The second is prepared with spaghetti squash! Equally as delicious, gluten free and low carb friendly!
