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.

Chicken Enchiladas Soup
This week’s whole roasted chicken got bathed in rich Homemade Enchilada Sauce. Think BBQ Chicken, only basted with that wonderful chili and tomato based sauce. When it came out of the oven it was a sight to behold. We first enjoyed our chicken dinner which later became Chicken Enchiladas Soup.

Southwest Eggrolls with Avocado Dipping Sauce {Chili’s Style}
Every time I make these Southwest Eggrolls they are a hit. And this copycat recipe gets you pretty darn close to the Chili’s restaurant version.
