Does anyone else buy boxes of “Little Bites” muffins for their kids (big or small)?? I can’t believe I’m admitting it – not because I’m a packaged food snob, but because muffins are so darn easy to make at home! This recipe yields 4 dozen Double Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins!!

Black Bean Chili begins like many of our soup and chili recipes….with a medley of carrots, onions and celery. But that’s just the beginning of this flavor journey.

Just think how far the dip world has come, evolved if you will. There was a time when French Onion Dip was the go-to staple for Game Day or family gatherings. A packet of onion soup mix, a tub of sour cream, and a big bag of ruffled potato chips and we were in dip heaven.

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.” This dish could be made with any leftover steak or nice tender beef strips and your favorite kind of mushrooms. We used these gorgeous Shiitakes that we found at the farmers market.

Farmers Market Aztec Casserole from Lemony Thyme

To say I love ‘thrifting’ is an understatement. And as a food blogger, I’m not alone. We’ve always got an eye out for unique dishes and props to use for our food photography sessions. I head straight to the dish/cookware section when I enter a thrift store then head to the cookbook shelf. Last week while visiting our local Humane Society Thrift Store I spied this gorgeous cookbook. The cover recipe was for Budín Azteca aka Aztec Casserole which matched this week’s Farmers Market bounty beautifully.

I have this bag of baking supplies that I hide out of sight in the hall coat closet. My logic is questionable since I (1) hid it, and (2) it’s been discovered. It contains everything from Peanut M&M’s to Hershey’s Kisses to Ferrero Rocher, plus assorted other essentials like chocolate chips, shredded coconut, marshmallows, and Heath toffee bits.
