Beef Bourguignon
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.

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.

Our Best Chili Yet
I’ve just spent 30 minutes debating about what to call this latest Chili Masterpiece. Something in me strongly protests anytime I want to use the words ‘Greatest’ or ‘The Best’ in a recipe title. It’s very literal.

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.

Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwich {with Cranberry Horseradish Mayo}
No matter how you stack it a Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwich is pure goodness. For me, the key ingredients are stuffing, turkey and mayo. This year, thanks to my sister Sarah, I’m adding a schmear of Cranberry Horseradish Mayo. Oh my word, that stuff is addicting.

Butternut Squash, Apple & Sage Stuffed Turkey Tenderloins
Our Butternut Squash, Apple & Sage Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin smiles of Autumn Thyme. Fresh ingredients that play so nicely together. I made this dish for the sole purpose of portioning out lunches for the week. However I’m certain it will become another favorite weeknight meal.

Chicago Style Hot Dog
Who would’ve thought that eating a loaded hot dog could fall into a Healthy Choices category? I’m here to tell you that the Chicago Style Hot Dog with it’s nine layers of flavor can easily weigh in at less than 250 calories (only 5 WW Pts+).

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}.

Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs
I’m Libby with Lemony Thyme and the voice behind this blog, however I learned the fundamentals from a variety of sources. When I started this blog 2+ years ago, my family was supportive yet cautious. I’ll tell you more about that but first I must introduce a staple recipe, Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs. Fall off the bone beefy goodness.
