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.

USDA Prime NY Strip Steaks with Worcestershire-Chive Butter
Every once in a while the stars and the moon align and we stumble upon USDA ‘Prime’ Beef at our wholesale club. Typically reserved for restaurants, Prime beef is a high quality ultra tender grade. And for me tender is where it’s at.

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.

Baked Sweet Potato {with Buffalo Chicken}
Baked Sweet Potato with Buffalo Chicken. Now here’s where you might say….Really? I’m here to tell you that the sweet of the potato is exactly what our Buffalo Chicken was hoping to cuddle up to. These chickens, they try to be all aloof and such but they are real cuddle bugs.

Fish Taco Bowls
Fish Taco Bowls. I just adore complete meals served in a bowl. For breakfast, lunch or dinner. And I don’t discriminate against ingredients based on the time of day. As long as they are fresh and flavorful…I’m a happy girl.

Italian Sausage Wrapped in Bread Dough {aka Big Pig in a Blanket}
Get a room full of people together for nearly any occasion, set out a platter of Pigs in a Blanket, and prepare to watch them disappear. In a hurry. We’ve become very fond of Jennie-O Hot Italian Turkey Sausage. They seem to be on the menu most every week in one form or another. It was on the back of their packaging that I saw this fabulous idea for Italian Sausage Wrapped in Bread Dough.
