Today was our Halloween Luncheon at the office. It is an annual tradition. We decorate, dress in costumes, and feast. I decided to make a giant Classic Lasagna to share with my work family. But I wanted to add a spooky element to the dish. Wait til you see what I did. Continue reading »

Perhaps the dish I remember most from my childhood is Beefaroni. Not the canned type, but Homemade Beefaroni, that I think we had every week. It’s affordable, easy to prepare, family friendly, and so delicious. For that reason I consider this a comfort food recipe. Continue reading »

I wanted to deliver comfort. The kind of comfort that if only for a meal would help ease the weight of the day. Our most popular recipe on Lemony Thyme is our Salisbury Steak. Anytime I share it the response is overwhelmingly positive. Today I’m sharing that recipe except in the form of Salisbury Steak Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}. Continue reading »

Five ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need. Continue reading »

I took yesterday off from work to cook. That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven. I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat. In fact, everyone either loves to eat or loves to cook (or both). Which makes for some great special occasion spreads. Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a giant pot of Chili Gumbo and a platter of Mardi Gras Wings. It was a good day. Continue reading »

I’ve just spent 30 minutes debating about what to call this latest Chili Masterpiece. Something in me strongly protests anytime I want to use the words ‘Greatest’ or ‘The Best’ in a recipe title. It’s very literal. Continue reading »

There was no way on earth I intended to make a Fritos Casserole, never mind admit that I did and share it. It just happened. And it was good and tasty and our Facebook friends asked for the recipe. Which I made up as we went along. But here it is. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »
