Baked Sweet Potato {with Sautéed Mushrooms & Spinach topped with Jarlsberg Cheese}
Baked Sweet Potato {with Sautéed Mushrooms & Spinach topped with Jarlsberg Cheese}. Recently someone asked me, “with all the cooking you do, what is your favorite ‘type’ of food or genre if you will….American Favorites, Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, etc.” I thought about it for a minute, I certainly love most ALL food….but what came out of my mouth was absolutely accurate. “I love vegetables most.” All vegetables, prepared most ways. I could give up Italian if I had to (even though I’d miss it) but I could NOT give up veggies. I just couldn’t do it.

Turkey Noodle Soup {with Thyme Roasted Veggies}
Turkey Noodle Soup {with Thyme Roasted Veggies}. Okay, we’re in this together. We’ve all got a partially carved turkey, wrapped in a wad of foil, taking up way too much space in the Frigidaire. Let’s break it down. I know, it seems like work to pick the bones of the good meat, trash the fatty stuff, and cram a carcass into a big stock pot. But let’s do this.

African Chicken Peanut Stew {Pot Pies}
The first time we made African Chicken Peanut Stew was the day Shelby and I discovered Penzey’s Spices. I bought three spices that day, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and cardamom seeds. You see, earlier that morning I had read my first ‘non-family/friend’ comment on Lemony Thyme. It’s hard to explain the feeling but I was a titch giddy. Perhaps it’s like being in high school and having a crush on the most popular kid in school, who doesn’t even know you exist. Then one day, out of nowhere, they greet you by name. What?!
