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.

Chicken & Chorizo Chili
I spent this past weekend organizing my kitchen. Starting with the spice cabinet, moving on to the pantry, followed by my dishes cupboard and ending with the freezer. I’m sure everyone has their problem areas but since I began food blogging all of mine have blown up. Hey now! ;-)

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.

Brunswick Stew {Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry}
Brunswick Stew. It began yesterday morning when we pulled a hunk of Boston Butt Pork Roast from the freezer and put it straight into the crock pot. Without a plan. As we bounced ideas around for something ‘different’ we could do with pulled pork…it came to me. Let’s make Brunswick Stew.

Beef & Bean Chili
I will admit that I whipped up this Beef & Bean Chili for the sole purpose of picturing it….on a Baked Potato. That’s right. I’m about ready to share a big potato round-up I’ve been working on. Stay tuned…

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}.

Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash {B is for Braising}
Santa Claus is quite perceptive. I mean he brought me a Terracotta Tagine for Christmas and it wasn’t even on my list. How did he know?!! Working perfectly into our Winter Thyme Spice Exploration plan, we put that baby to good use tonight. We turned a basic beef stew into a fragrant adventure with this Beef Tagine with Butternut Squash. Paprika, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne came together with tangy tomatoes and sweet butternut squash to create a BIG flavor sauce. The beef was tender, as slow braised beef should be, and completely infused with Moroccan love. I’m smiling.

Mexican Casserole {Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry Week}
The week following Thanksgiving was epic in terms of leftovers. The pantry doors were bulging like the doors on a pre-teen girl’s closet. The fridge was packed full of 1/2 used ingredients begging for a purpose. And fortunately for us, every food blogger I follow was offering up solutions. This Mexican Casserole was inspired by this beautiful recipe I found on From Away.
