We have a wonderful Used Book Store in town. It’s in an old home, so imagine each section in it’s own little room, most complete with quiet reading areas. On the day I discovered this Roasted Garlic Bread Soup recipe, Shelby and I went in opposite directions. If I recall she was looking for books on the Dalai Lama and I was in cookbook heaven.

Trust me when I tell you once you go with Homemade Enchilada Sauce you’ll never go back to the canned variety. From start to finish in 20 minutes and worth every one of those. Continue reading »

I don’t think I’ve told you about my 2015 Challenge. My Healthy Choices walking buddy Bethany and I signed up to walk a combined two thousand fifteen miles in 2015. That’s five point five miles per day together or two point seven five miles each. every day. for 365 days.
All that walking during our lunch hour, makes these girls hungry. I’m proposing Spicy Shrimp Thai Buddha Bowls all around. Continue reading »

All my favorite soups begin the same way….with a classic Mirepoix (onion, carrot and celery). For our Cream of Tomato Soup, the mirepoix is primarily a flavor enhancer. In the end it’s pureed, but I couldn’t help but leave some texture in our creamy bowl of comfort. Continue reading »

Sausage & Potato Soup with Spinach & Bacon could be the cousin of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. That however, was not at all my motivation for making this new recipe. Did I tell you the story of how we scored 30+ pounds of bacon and sausage?? Can you imagine the delight when this text message hit my phone. Continue reading »

I’ve been itching to make Chicken Cacciatore but sadly one key ingredient stood in the way. Green bell peppers and I just can’t seem to get along. Same goes for cucumbers. Two ingredients you’ll rarely see included in a recipe on Lemony Thyme. However, an Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry produce drawer discovery changed everything. Continue reading »
