While I made this Rustic White Bean & Greens Heart Healthy Soup two days after January 1st, you could easily serve this on the big day to encourage luck and good fortune!
We, like many of you, enjoy Black-eyed peas or beans, collard greens cooked with ham, and golden cornbread on New Year’s Day. These are after-all good luck foods and lord knows we need all the luck we can get these days.

Yesterday I jumped in with both feet and came up with three salads I think you’ll really enjoy!
The first up is this festive Pear, Pomegranate & Pecan Spinach Salad with Pomegranate Maple Vinaigrette!
You see, I was somewhere between planning our Family Thanksgiving menu and scheduling an upcoming Holiday Luncheon when I realized a serious void on Lemony Thyme. I’m really slacking in the festive salad category.
That was then, this is now!

This Insalata Chicken Florentine is a Copycat from Macaroni Grill. Not sure if you are familiar with them or this incredible salad.
IT IS AMAZING.
Every ingredient is so well thought out, each delivering a unique flavor and/or texture.

This Spinach & Brussels Sprout Salad {with Warm Maple Bacon Dressing} is a new year-round favorite.
Together you have salty, savory and sweet with a little crunch and texture in each bite. I adore each of the individual components of this salad.
Fresh tender spinach, shaved Brussels sprouts, toasted pecans, parmesan crisps, dried cranberries, and warm maple bacon dressing.

Italian Wedding Soup is one dish I could not give up.
It has to be the flavor packed tiny meatballs.
No…no, actually it’s the fresh spinach leaves and miniature pasta all bathing in wonderful homemade chicken broth.

Spring Thyme Green Minestrone Soup.
When I looked into the eyes of my beautiful new fridge I saw shelves and drawers overflowing with ingredients that begged for a chance to play nicely together.
The result of nonstop cooking for a week straight.
Have you seen our March Meatball Madness posts??!
When I studied the contents it became blatantly obvious that my fridge and my well-being needed a big pot of soup!

I hope you’ve been enjoying my mini-series on Lunch Bowls. I’m a bit obsessed with portion controlled meals. Mostly though, I’m quite fond of a theme.
It helps my brain get organized.
We recently celebrated National Crabmeat Day. When Bowl Week meets Crabmeat a California Roll Lunch Bowl is born.

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?”

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.

Most days, whether at home or the office I’ll have an Egg White Omelet Bowl for breakfast. A bed of spinach (getting my calcium anywhere I can), a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and scallions, and an egg white omelet packed with herbs. Today, my herb of choice was Thai Basil which is thriving in our Aero Garden presently. This Thai Basil Egg White Omelet Bowl fits in so nicely with my Healthy Choices plan.
