Guacamole Deviled Eggs {with Crispy Bacon}
Guacamole Deviled Eggs with Crispy Bacon. One week to go before we complete our first year of ‘food blogging.’ A term I hesitated to use for most of this year. On one hand it was hard to put myself in that category, with so many very talented writers, recipe creators, and photography wizards. And on the other hand, I had always thought of a blog as a personal diary of sorts, something I couldn’t envision Lemony Thyme becoming last June. However, as time progressed I began to open up a bit. A simple reference from a friend or family member about something I wrote in a post, felt good. It made me…

Tandoori Spice Blend
I separated this Tandoori Spice Blend from the Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower post because it’s so versatile it’s worth a post of it’s own. I can see myself using this in various dishes and thankfully the recipe made enough to for us and to share with Shelby.

Cool Ranch Jalapeño Poppers {just for fun}
We found the nicest bag of jalapeños at our wholesale club on Saturday and decided to try our hand at making Jalapeño Poppers. As we worked our way through the store we talked about how me might change them up. We could stuff them with sausage, kind of like Stuffed Poblano Peppers. I threw out a bacon wrap, but somehow doubling up on the pork….seemed wrong.

Southwest Skillet Corn
Southwest Skillet Corn. Come on fresh corn. I love you so. It really doesn’t matter to me how corn is prepared because I can’t think of a way I don’t love it. I’ve discovered over the past couple of years that roasting veggies like corn (or onions, jalapenos, poblanos, red peppers), over an open flame, intensifies their flavor and adds just a hint of smokiness. What a great way to give your favorite salsas and sides a little flavor boost.

Kefta Mkaouara {Moroccan Spicy Meatball & Tomato Tagine with Poached Eggs}
I wanted to share one more Winter Thyme Spice Exploration dish before I mentally checked into Spring. When I discovered Kefta Mkaouara, a traditional Moroccan tagine dish, it offered all the right components. Lovely spices, fresh herbs, wonderfully seasoned mini-meatballs, and poached eggs all slow cooked in glorious tomato and olive sauce in our new Tagine. Beautiful.

Moroccan Couscous Salad {Share the Love}
“It’s my pleasure.” What a lovely statement and I mean that so sincerely when it comes to cooking for my co-workers. Today was a lunch meeting for our fabulous Customer Service Team. I shared BBQ Turkey Burgers, Smoked Paprika Sweet Potato Chips and this Moroccan Couscous Salad which is just bursting with flavor.

Southwest Stuffed mini-Sweet Peppers {with Quinoa & Spicy Turkey Sausage}
These beautiful mini-Sweet Peppers were smiling at me as I strolled through the produce isle. How could I resist their vibrant ‘happy’ colors? When it’s January, and the tornado sirens are echoing in the distance and torrential rains are beating on the window, a little ray of sunshine for dinner seemed just right. So we kicked up our recipe with a little spice and created Southwest Stuffed mini-Sweet Peppers {with Quinoa & Spicy Turkey Sausage}.

Peruvian Roast Chicken {She Knows Me}
Peruvian Chicken. When my co-worker Cindy told me she had a recipe that was right up my alley…I listened. She knows me. Peruvian Chicken she promised was packed full of incredible make-you-get-a-little-giddy flavor…and wouldn’t you know this recipe is just in time for Winter Thyme Spice Exploration. She really knows me.

North African Chicken {with Spicy Green Sauce}
It’s hard to believe that just three short months ago I was harvesting my fresh herbs and hanging them by their toes to dry, as we began Autumn Thyme. Now I can hardly wait for Winter Thyme ~ A Spice Exploration. Shortly after Christmas, we’ll be unveiling our new Winter Thyme banner….but for now, I’ll give you a preview of what’s to come. Presenting North African Chicken with Spicy Green Sauce.

Cowboy Caviar & A Country Christmas Party
Whipped up a batch of Cowboy Caviar in honor of tonight’s Country Christmas themed Annual Company Party. I can not wait. While we work (and play) hard all throughout the year, the Christmas Party is a chance to spend an evening with my second family and their spouses. And inevitably make memories that will last us until next year’s party :) Did I mention, I can not wait!
