I am completely serious when I say that I might love leftovers more than the original serving. I realize there are some exceptions, but for the most part I’m a leftovers kind of girl.
We recently enjoyed some fine Ribeye steaks (remind me to tell you later about the reverse-seared method Nick used to cook them). Any how, we found ourselves with enough leftover steak to turn into Beef Stroganoff.” Continue reading »

Here in the sunny south we’ve been experiencing some big weather swings. Cold one day, hot the next. Seems that kind of shift leads you straight into flu and cold season. Yep, that’s right. About 1/3 of my work family is or has been sick. The only thing I could think to do was make soup. Mushroom Soup with Cheesy Portobello Croutons hit the spot. 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 »

The pictures don’t do this recipe justice, but I am here to tell you that Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna is pure comfort. Surprisingly, that comfort is delivered without a guilt trip. That’s right, this recipe came straight out of the new Weight Watchers cook book AND it’s made in the slow cooker. Badda bing. Badda boom. Continue reading »

For the most part, our pantry staples are pretty common. We keep canned tomatoes and beans, dried pasta, boxed broths, baking supplies, etc. However there are a couple of other unique items I like to keep on hand just in case.
Just in case a recipe for Greek Chicken & Eggplant Stew crosses my path. Continue reading »

This Cheesy Bowtie & Butternut Squash Bake was born out of ingredients already on hand. It’s loaded with veggies and I promise you even the youngest members of the family will love this dish. Butternut squash, fresh mushrooms & spinach, an open box of pasta and the end of a hunk of cheddar cheese came together in a snap. Continue reading »

Many years ago I went to Kansas City on a business trip. I was invited to dinner with a dear friend at one of the wonderful Steakhouses in town. I informed in advance that besides amazing steaks, this particular establishment was famous for their Steak Soup. Continue reading »
