Cauliflower Fried Rice.
If you’re craving a low-carb or vegetarian alternative to traditional fried rice, this is the recipe for you.
A little sesame oil and soy sauce and you’ve got the flavor profile down.
I always add carrots, onion and green peas but sometimes I also add zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp, or even bacon.

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.

Hanging on to every fresh produce summer moment over here on Lemony Thyme. I’m calling this soup Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder because it has a creaminess about it and chowders are amazing. The beautiful thing is the creamy came from the white beans not cream or butter. That puts this soup squarely in our Healthy Choices category.

Tuna Mac with Peas. A family favorite comfort food. A blog is after all a place to share memories.
I couldn’t recall how it came to be that Tuna Mac with Peas became such a favorite with my sister and I….so I called her and asked her. Her earliest recollection dated back to when we were about 7 and 10. It was our Baby Sitter Dinner.

It was this Kicked Up Albóndiga Soup recipe from Hispanic Kitchen that first grabbed my attention. I knew instantly it would be a hit at our house when I read the recipe. We are on an undeniable meatball kick. I’m not sure what’s gotten into us, but it’s full out meatball mania around here.

Snow-Day Chicken Pot Pie.
We were snowed in again and completely made the best of it. Let me remind you we live in the sunny south, so snow days are few and far between. Stranded at home is my excuse to turn to my fridge/pantry for inspiration.

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.

Shelby and I recently had the pleasure of flying north to visit my brother, sister and their families for a few days. We, like many families, are separated by distance and life and the stuff that can get in the way. This trip was a chance for us to put all of that aside and just be together. It was wonderful.
How does that relate to Turkey Tetrazzini? I’m about to tell you in a long winded way. However you won’t hurt my feelings if you’re simply here for a great leftover turkey recipe and know that we loved this growing up. See below.

I recently got on a kick of looking for ways to ‘Deconstruct’ recipes. It seemed like a cool way to present a dish and the couple I have posted were quite fun. Next up on my ‘to-be-deconstructed’ list was Tuna Noodle Casserole. A comfort food dish that many of us grew up on (whether you liked it or not).
My thought was to build the layers of flavor thoughtfully using top quality ingredients to deliver a bowl of comfort. I think I’ve succeeded with this one.

From the moment I first took a bite of this fabulous dish I knew. Chicken & Wild Rice Casserole and I were going to be life long friends. It’s the perfect combination of creamy, nutty, healthy goodness combined with the comfort that comes from a warm bowl of homemade chicken soup.
