Restaurant-Style Salsa
Why have I waited so long to discover how easy AND inexpensive it is to make Restaurant-Style Salsa at home, by simply using your blender?! We love Fresh Tomato Salsa in the summer when the tomatoes are abundant and delicious. But frankly, I’m not willing to pay for over-priced, not all that tasty, supermarket tomatoes during the winter months. Instead we turn to our freezer where we’ve got Homemade Tomato Sauce and to our pantry where we always have canned tomatoes on hand.

Chicken Cacciatore
I’ve been itching to make Chicken Cacciatore but sadly one key ingredient stood in the way. Green bell peppers and I just can’t seem to get along. Same goes for cucumbers. Two ingredients you’ll rarely see included in a recipe on Lemony Thyme. However, an Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry produce drawer discovery changed everything.

Greek Chicken & Eggplant Stew {with Citrus Herb Gremolata}
For the most part, our pantry staples are pretty common. We keep canned tomatoes and beans, dried pasta, boxed broths, baking supplies, etc. However there are a couple of other unique items I like to keep on hand just in case. Just in case a recipe for Greek Chicken & Eggplant Stew crosses my path.

Greek Chicken Meatloaf {with Spinach & Feta}
I’m rather proud of our Greek Chicken Meatloaf with Spinach & Feta recipe. We use ground chicken, which on its own is fairly bland. No worries. Here’s how we bring full blown flavor to this dish.

Feast of the Seven Fishes {Christmas Eve Tradition}
Several years ago I got a hankering to attempt the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our Christmas Eve dinner. I carefully selected recipes, ordered specialty items ahead from our local seafood market, and rewrote my plan of attack dozens of times before the big day arrived. I envisioned this becoming our new Christmas Eve traditional dinner and oh how that excited me.

Penne with Vodka Sauce {penne alla vodka}
Do you ever get stuck in a pasta rut? Or better yet a ‘what’s for dinner’ rut? We have become such fans of Spaghetti & Meatballs that we have it almost weekly. No complaints, but I was ready for a change. Enter cream and vodka. Voila Penne with Vodka Sauce {penne alla vodka}.

Chicken Piccata {over Angel Hair Pasta}
Besides how delicious this Chicken Piccata recipe is, it also comes together quickly from ingredients likely already in your fridge/pantry. That qualifies this as a great week night meal.

Chicken Chilaquiles {with Fried Eggs}
Chicken Chilaquiles. Chee-lah-KEE-less. Chicken-ala-cheese-ness. There are about a bazillion corn tortillas in a package. Have you noticed that? No matter what recipe I make with them, inevitably I will have half a bazillion leftover. That’s what led me to this classic Mexican dish. Chilaquiles are traditionally made from corn tortillas that may have been hanging around for a bit…aka stale.

Korean BBQ Beef {in the Slow Cooker}
I decided to take my favorite slow cooker pot roast recipe and give it a complete makeover. Bing, bam, boom. Korean BBQ Beef. Simple as that and oh so delicious.
