Fresh Green Bean & Mushroom Casserole with Crispy Shallots will definitely be on our Thanksgiving table.
Whenever I bring up favorite Thanksgiving sides in conversation, Green Bean Casserole always rises near the top. Even though Stuffing seems to be the emotional favorite.

Creamy Mashed Potato Casserole gets a little flavor love with the addition of sour cream and cream cheese.
This recipe is the perfect make ahead side dish that can be reheated in the oven or the microwave.
These creamy potatoes are fluffy with a nice buttery flavor.
Perfect if you ask me!

This Beef Stroganoff recipe could be made with any leftover steak or nice tender beef strips and your favorite kind of mushrooms.
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.

I find extreme satisfaction from really bold flavors. Not only do they excite my taste buds but they wake up my senses. This punchy Jamaican Jerk Marinade will leave your tongue dissecting the layers of flavors. It’s spicy, slightly sweet, and over the top with aromatics.

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?”

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.

Beef Bourguignon. Boeuf Bourguignon. Beef Burgundy. I think we grew up with this dish. No, not the first two. My Mom made beef burgundy often. The cuts of meat may have started out a bit tough requiring extra cooking love, but the end result was melt in your mouth wonderful. This year’s Christmas Eve Prime Rib was as good as any we’ve had in the past.

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.
