Relatively wordless Wednesday Post. Soooo.
I walk a lot. It’s my time to silently talk through things and exhale. My time. During walking my brain churns which often inspires new recipes. These Chicken Parmesan Meatball Sliders were the walking brain child inspired by these… Continue reading »

Farmers Market Roasted Veggie Lasagna. I hope the picture above does this dish justice. It was amazing. I’m not one to go crazy with personal horn tooting but this was a huge success. I have shared it with 13 people as of noontime today. The responses were unanimous. “Oh my.” “Can I have one more bite.” “Yum!” “Is this recipe on Lemony Thyme?” Continue reading »

Farmers Market Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies
I’m so happy this time of year. There’s something so beautiful about fresh from the garden veggies and herbs. Throughout this past winter and spring we’ve been enjoying Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes. Why not show our baby squash and spring onions the same kind of love?! Continue reading »

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 »

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.

My kid. I love her completely.
Her hugs. Listening skills. Eye contact. Thirst for knowledge. Hugs. Witt. Sense of adventure. Genuine interest in what you’re saying.
Having said that, there is an I want this now and my listening skills have gone out the window at this moment, because I want this now quality about her that I admire. Go get it girl. Which is exactly what she did last week. I’ll tell you more about that, after I introduce our newest savory dish. I made a bit of heaven. Rosemary Ham & Swiss Savory Bread Pudding…inspired by a Sunday’s with Shelby outing (which on occasion happens on a Saturday). Continue reading »

I needed a great HOT Dip recipe.
So off to Pinterest Wonderland I went. Whoa. The choices are vast, diverse, and oh so cheesy. Hot Pizza Dip sounded too good to pass up.
There’s the seasoned cheese layer, your favorite marinara sauce, favorite toppings, then more cheese. Off to the oven we go. Ezzy-pizzy. Continue reading »

Our Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich, layered with basil pesto, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, and cheese, was phenomenal. All that goodness was sandwiched between two slices of fresh baked Jackalope Real Bread. Let me tell you a bit about that. 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 »
