Pistachio Oatmeal Sandies
I’ve been looking forward to receiving my 2015 cooking magazine subscriptions (I’m changing it up a bit this year). The first to arrive in the mailbox was BON APPETIT with a big banner across the top that read GET HEALTHY IN 2015. Right on!! So I promptly made cookies. Pistachio Oatmeal Cookies.

Chickpea & Spinach Stew
The holidays have a way of throwing us me off course. No matter how hard I try, temptation is waiting at every turn. This year is going to be different. Yes, I will cave to some temptations, or better said…enjoy my favorite dishes in moderation. Yet, what I won’t do is completely abandon my Healthy Choices plan only to start over on January 1st. Nope, not gonna do it. This Chickpea & Spinach Stew, adapted from Weight Watchers, is going to keep me on track.

Parmesan & Herb Roasted Vegetable Soup
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.

Cheesy Bowtie & Butternut Squash Bake
This Cheesy Bowtie & Butternut Squash Bake was born out of ingredients already on hand. It’s loaded with veggies and I promise you even the youngest members of the family will love this dish. Butternut squash, fresh mushrooms & spinach, an open box of pasta and the end of a hunk of cheddar cheese came together in a snap.

Jamaican Red Beans & Rice {rice & peas}
We needed a side dish to go with one of our most favorite grilling recipes, Jamaican Jerk Marinated Turkey Breast. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how easily this Jamaican Red Beans & Rice {aka Rice & Peas} Recipe, courtesy of Jamaica Travel and Culture.com, came together.

Roasted Veggie Pot Pie {with Herbed Biscuit Crust}
Someday I think I’d like to do an entire recipe series on ‘How to make this from that.’ In other words, how to enjoy dinner on day one, then turn the leftovers into a completely new meal (or two) the following days. Our Roasted Veggie Pot Pie {with Herbed Biscuit Crust} is simply Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder with a heavenly layer of comfort baked on top.

Mexican Tamale Pie
I’ve been wanting to recreate my favorite Mexican Tamale Pie since about the moment I began sharing recipes on Lemony Thyme. Which also happens to be when I realized that the most important part of cooking isn’t the recipe, it’s the ingredients.

Potato Leek Soup {with Crispy Sage}
Potato Leek Soup with Crispy Sage is creamy and delicious. With basic ingredients and minimum hands on cooking time, this soup has been added to my comfort food favorites list.

Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder
Hanging on to every fresh produce summer moment over here on Lemony Thyme. I’m calling this soup Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder because it has a creaminess about it and chowders are amazing. The beautiful thing is the creamy came from the white beans not cream or butter. That puts this soup squarely in our Healthy Choices category.

Blueberry Balsamic Red Onion & Gruyere Grilled Cheese
I’m always, always on the lookout for the next best grilled cheese sandwich. I seek inspiration at every turn. Every turn down the grocery store isle. Every turn through food magazine features. And every page turn of my current favorite cook book. And there she was. Right in front of me for nearly a month before she jumped out and bit me. That gorgeous Emmentaler on Rye sandwich inspired our Blueberry Balsamic Red Onion & Gruyere Grilled Cheese.
