Thyme leaves/5 recipes

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

Infuse flavor into boring Brussels sprouts by shallow braising in stock with shallots and thyme.

These Parmesan sesame twists are addictive, they are golden brown and crispy, parmesan, sesame and thyme leaves are delicious combination.

A classic German style potato salad that is served warm. Perfect for Octoberfest.

Even the sweet potato/yam "dis-liker" (me) liked the flavor of these. Nice little bite from the cayenne. And the amount of sugar was just right. I don't care for really "sweet" yam dishes at all! Thanks for this addition to our holiday dinner. (Part of my "Thanksgiving 2010" Menu)

Juicy chicken breast stuffed with cheese, shallots and cheese. The phyllo really helps hold in the moisture to keep the chicken breast moist. This is a reduced fat version of a popular recipe and it's equally as tasty in my opinion. If you wish to reduce the fat even further omit the cheese altogether.

This delicious savory onion tart is tasty, creamy, and absolutely delicious, a great way to impress your family or your guest.

This is a great way to use up some leftover turkey breast. Not to mention after the holidays we all need a little weight watcher help!

Great way to turn a bit of leftover turkey into a hearty, filling and inexpensive meal. Improved by adding a dash of soy sauce, sesame oil and splash of rice vinegar when serving.

Quick and easy. Cooking the salmon on one side over a higher heat creates an incredibly crispy coating to the salmon with or without the skin. In this recipe a flavorful mushroom broth is quickly made. Any kind of mushrooms can be used but if you can find them try Enoki straw mushrooms for a unique treat.

These roasted almonds are tasty and crunchy, all the seasonings and brown sugar add the amazing flavor to the almonds. Good snack or when you have guests to come, it will satisfy everyone.

Baked Thyme Potatoes

A delicious and succulent dish that will have you and your friends licking your lips and fingers!

Make your pasta dishes seem authentic with this spaghetti sauce made of Italian sausage, tomatoes and a variety of spices.

This one skillet side dish makes for quick and easy cleanup. The crunchy butter and maple toasted pecans dress up everyday green beans for a side worthy of a holiday feast.

Simple and perfectly matched flavors that let the potato shine through brightly.
