Chicken Saltimbocca is one of those recipes that I would argue tastes even better fresh from your skillet then served in a restaurant.
We’ve been on a cooking journey recreating classic restaurant dishes at home.

I made this Autumn Thyme Wedge Salad a couple weeks ago and have been dying to share it with you. It has so many wonderful seasonal flavors that it sings of Autumn Thyme. The star of the salad were the Warm Goat Cheese Fritters. They were so good they deserved their own recipe post (and so delayed the introduction of our newest wedge salad recipe).

For our Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday I served Parmesan Herb Roasted Veggies. It was my secret weapon to help keep me on my Healthy Choices plan. I knew no matter what else tempted me I could find comfort in that dish. Today as a fridge full of leftovers called to me…the first thing I did was make this soup.

I tried to publish this recipe last night but I was struggling and grasping for words. Not that Roasted Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash {with Crispy Sage & Bacon} is complicated or difficult to explain, it’s just that I made it for some friends of mine who frankly have been to hell and back over the past six weeks. Preparing this dish evoked emotion, something I feel has been lacking as of late in my cooking and subsequent blog posts.

This dish is the love child of two farmers markets visits in one day. I scored some gorgeous tomatoes at my morning market and sweet sea scallops from my evening market. 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.

As I stepped out of my car I was greeted by the smell of bacon cooking. I walked through the door and found a sack full of fresh from the garden potatoes on the counter. Loaded Potato Soup was about to be born.

Herb Infused Polenta {with Poached Eggs}.
Not exactly what I had in mind as I entered the kitchen this morning. However sitting here just minutes after enjoying it for Sunday brunch I’m in love with the flavors lingering on my tongue. They’re familiar and comfortable. Equally as exciting to the taste buds is their aroma. They are fresh herbs.

Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl.
It was 52 degrees in our bedroom this morning. Somehow opening a window ever so slightly seemed like a fine idea at bedtime. Brrrr. So while I lay snuggled deeply into my bed I did a mental inventory of the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. If there was one thing that would get me out from under the covers, it was breakfast.
