Chicken & Chorizo Chili
I spent this past weekend organizing my kitchen. Starting with the spice cabinet, moving on to the pantry, followed by my dishes cupboard and ending with the freezer. I’m sure everyone has their problem areas but since I began food blogging all of mine have blown up. Hey now! ;-)

Swiss Sherry Chicken {a sentimental favorite}
Swiss Sherry Chicken has become a sentimental favorite recipe in our house. This recipe is adapted from a popular dish that’s been around for years. Heavenly mushroom sherry sauce baked over Swiss cheese topped chicken breasts…sprinkled with buttery croutons. Trust me, it works. This is going to become my go-to meal to share with a friend in need of comfort food love.

Crab Stuffed Chile Rellenos
The other day I was digging through my recipe inspiration folder, the place I keep pages upon pages of notes, printed recipes, magazine pages and the like. What I found was a scrap piece of paper with these handwritten words Crab Stuffed Chile Rellenos. That night I made this fabulous dish.

Smoky Chicken & Spinach Stuffed Shells
Sometimes you need a deep dish of comfort. No questions asked. Bring on the comfort food. That’s what our Smoky Chicken & Spinach Stuffed Shells were intended to be. And on that day they delivered.

Roasted Veggie Pot Pie {with Herbed Biscuit Crust}
Someday I think I’d like to do an entire recipe series on ‘How to make this from that.’ In other words, how to enjoy dinner on day one, then turn the leftovers into a completely new meal (or two) the following days. Our Roasted Veggie Pot Pie {with Herbed Biscuit Crust} is simply Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder with a heavenly layer of comfort baked on top.

Turkey Divan Soup {with Gnocchi & Parmesan Mushrooms}
We got a new pellet smoker grill and have had that bad boy fired up every weekend since, which means for the most part I’ve had weekends off from cooking. At least cooking out of need vs. for fun. Smoked turkey breast and the heavenly broth that followed was the recipe inspiration for this Turkey Divan Soup.

Mexican Tamale Pie
I’ve been wanting to recreate my favorite Mexican Tamale Pie since about the moment I began sharing recipes on Lemony Thyme. Which also happens to be when I realized that the most important part of cooking isn’t the recipe, it’s the ingredients.

Muffuletta Sandwich
Last spring Shelby and I flew to New Orleans. For business. Aaaannnnd a girl’s getaway. To say we had a blast is an understatement. Before we left home we each made a must-see/do list of what we wanted to experience while visiting The Big Easy. A trip to Central Grocery Co. for a Muffuletta was near the top of my list.

Marinara Sauce {with Fresh Tomatoes}
I have been on a Marinara Sauce kick these past couple of weeks. I call it a kick because I’m still a bit shocked that we are becoming quite the homesteaders. Well no we didn’t grow these tomatoes, but we did roast them, turn them into sauce and freeze them for the winter. That’s a long way from opening up a jar of our favorite sauce.

Turkey Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}
We’ve made this dish so often that frankly I’ve taken for granted how good it is. Now that school is back in session the talk around the office has changed from backyard BBQ’s and poolside picnics to family friendly weeknight meals. These Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy are simple and delicious.
