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.

We rarely have a loaf of bread on hand, except when it’s tomato season. So for brunch today I went with a savory French Toast recipe that incorporated fresh herbs, tomatoes, and Indian spices. Masala Egg Toast might be a new favorite.

Seared Sea Scallops over Tomato Bacon Jam & Herb Infused Grits

Then in my one mile drive home I came up with this recipe. It’s that simple. Let me break down Seared Sea Scallops {over Tomato Bacon Jam & Herb Infused Grits} layer by layer.

Tomato & Cheese Fondue from Lemony Thyme1

My first experience with fondue was in the mid to late 70s while visiting New York City. Mom took us to a trendy new restaurant called The Melting Pot. Fondue was the hottest craze to hit the restaurant scene. We gleefully dipped breads, meats, and seafood into broths and cheeses. As a kid this might have been the coolest dining experience in my entire 12 year life.

White BBQ Sauce

The first White BBQ Sauce I ever had was from Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q in Atlanta. We catered a company event and brought in a full spread of their pulled pork, beef brisket, and smoked chicken. Along with the meat, they provided three distinct BBQ Sauces, one of which was White BBQ Sauce. It seemed odd and quite appealing to this girl who loves all things creamy. Holy Wow! was the first thing I thought when I tasted it.

We have since recreated this mayonnaise & vinegar based BBQ sauce at home. It’s creamy yes, but has a nice punch from the horseradish and creole mustard. Black pepper and garlic round out the depth of flavor. From what we’ve discovered White BBQ Sauce is a Northern Alabama favorite. I can tell you, we Georgians have become quite fond of it too.

Traditional Alfredo Sauce. This luxurious sauce is most classically referred to in conjunction with Fettuccini Alfredo.

We’ve incorporated it in our Seafood Lasagna {with Jalapeno Sauce}. In that case we simply added finely diced jalapeno to the butter and sautéed for a few minutes before adding cream. It’s delicious.

Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms.

When I saw this gorgeous Baked Lemon & Thyme Mushrooms recipe from Simple Provisions I knew in an instant that it would become a favorite. But instead of serving it as an appetizer with crostini, why not make it a Meatless Monday Meal.
