Lightened Up Shrimp & Grits
Came through the door last Friday evening (mind you…my most favorite evening to transition from work…to my garage…to the kitchen…is Friday). You know the feeling. What a Feeling!! Flash-Dance mode. Sorry. Not sorry. So I’ve made us a Lightened Up Shrimp & Grits.

Chopped Italian Submarine Salad
By the summer of sixth grade I was old enough to head off on my bicycle in the morning, with one stipulation, be home before dark. Most days for lunch I split an Italian Grinder with my BFF before heading to the lake. This Chopped Italian Submarine Salad has all those familiar wonderful flavors.

Gazpacho Grain Bowl {with Confetti Veggies}
I made a big batch of Gazpacho to take to a family gathering. I thought it would be a nice refreshing change and it was. However, even after our party I had a good amount left, along with my favorite fine diced confetti colored veggies. This is how the Gazpacho Grain Bowl with Confetti Veggies was born.

Pico de Gallo {Put The Lime In The Coconut}
I had a salad this week that stopped me in my eating tracks. There was a lot going on with said salad. Which made my mind drift from the company at the table. No disrespect, but whoa what a salad.

Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl
Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl. I went to Pet Smart during lunch to replenish Lilah’s food. Pet Smart is very close to Pier One. I was smack in the middle of Healthy Lunch Bowl Week. They sell really pretty bowls.

Cream of Tomato Soup {with Basil Pesto & Mozzarella Dunkers}
All my favorite soups begin the same way….with a classic Mirepoix (onion, carrot and celery). For our Cream of Tomato Soup, the mirepoix is primarily a flavor enhancer. In the end it’s pureed, but I couldn’t help but leave some texture in our creamy bowl of comfort.

Avocado, Cilantro & Lime Farro Salad {with Fresh Veggies}
Avocado, Cilantro & Lime Farro Salad {with Fresh Veggies}. I must admit I’ve become a bit smitten with Farro. I was studying the bulk bins at my local Whole Foods Market looking for something different. I was charged up to discover that Farro is packed with goodness.

Chicken Cacciatore
I’ve been itching to make Chicken Cacciatore but sadly one key ingredient stood in the way. Green bell peppers and I just can’t seem to get along. Same goes for cucumbers. Two ingredients you’ll rarely see included in a recipe on Lemony Thyme. However, an Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry produce drawer discovery changed everything.

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+).

Italian Sausage Stuffed Zucchini {Lightened Up}
Easy week night meals that are packed with fresh flavorful ingredients. That was my mission. Italian Sausage Stuffed Zucchini boats not only made a great dinner, but they reheated beautifully for lunch the next day.
