Rosemary Thyme – French Onion Dip

#WalmartPartner โ€” As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

Iโ€™ve always loved French onion dip, especially with a good ridged potato chip! ๐Ÿ˜Š With the holidays coming up, I wanted a homemade version that was lighter on fat and easy to season to my taste. Plain fat-free Greek yogurt makes it thick and creamy, and one yellow onion cooked slowly in unsalted butter gives the whole bowl that sweet, savory flavor I love.

๐ŸŒฟ RosemaryThyme French Onion Dip
Makes about 2 cups

What youโ€™ll need

โ€ข 1 large yellow onion, finely diced (about 1ยฝ cups)
โ€ข 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
โ€ข 1ยฝ cups plain fat-free Greek yogurt
โ€ข 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
โ€ข ยผ teaspoon garlic powder
โ€ข ยผ teaspoon onion powder
โ€ข ยผ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
โ€ข 1 tablespoon finely snipped fresh chives, plus more for serving

How to make it

  1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook for 25โ€“35 minutes, stirring occasionally at first and more often as it browns. When the onion is soft and deep golden, take it off the heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Stir together the Greek yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chives. Fold in the cooled onions, saving a spoonful for the top if you like.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. Taste it once itโ€™s chilled. If youโ€™d like a little more savory flavor, stir in another ยผ teaspoon of Worcestershire. Finish with the reserved onions and a sprinkle of chives.

๐Ÿ’ก RosemaryThyme Kitchen Tip
If the browned bits start to stick while the onions cook, add a tablespoon of water and scrape them back into the onions. And if youโ€™re making this for company, mix it up the night before so the onion flavor has time to come through.

Iโ€™d set this out with crisp English cucumber rounds and a bowl of ridged potato chips. At my house, Iโ€™d reach for a little of both! ๐Ÿ’›

๐ŸŒฟ RosemaryThyme Kitchen Tips | How to Choose Pork

๐ŸŒฟ RosemaryThyme Kitchen Tips | How to Choose Pork

Iโ€™ve been thinking about making a pork roast for the holidays. I want it juicy and lean, with nice slices I can arrange on a platter. That got me thinking about how easy it is to mix up pork loin and pork tenderloin when youโ€™re shopping. So I put together a little picture guide to show what each cut looks like and how Iโ€™d use it.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Center-cut pork loin is my pick for a holiday roast. Look for a boneless roast with a thin layer of fat on top. Its even shape makes it easy to carve into slices.

๐Ÿฅช Pork shoulder is what I reach for when I want pulled pork. Look for โ€œBoston buttโ€ or โ€œpork buttโ€ on the label. Give it time to cook low and slow until it shreds easily.

๐ŸŒฟ Pork tenderloin is the long, narrow cut that tapers at one end. Itโ€™s a lean choice for a quick dinner. Roast it whole and slice it into medallions.

๐Ÿณ Pork chops are perfect for the skillet or grill. I look for rib or center-cut loin chops about 1 to 1ยฝ inches thick so thereโ€™s time to get a good sear before the center is done.

Save the picture guide for your next grocery trip! And tell me, whatโ€™s your favorite way to serve pork for a holiday dinner? Iโ€™m leaning toward rosemary, thyme, and warm apple pan juices. ๐ŸŽ

๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒฟ RosemaryThyme Cranberry-Orange Sparkler

๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒฟ RosemaryThyme Cranberry-Orange Sparkler

Iโ€™ve already shared my apple cider mocktail, and this year I wanted something cranberry-bright for the Thanksgiving table. This ruby-red sparkler is tart and bubbly, with a little maple syrup to mellow the cranberries. My favorite touch is the rosemary sprig. You catch that lovely scent before you even take a sip!

Ingredients โ€ข Makes 1 glass

  • ยผ cup unsweetened 100% cranberry juice
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Great Value Pure Maple Syrup, or to taste
  • โ…“ cup plus 2 teaspoons chilled Great Value plain sparkling water (3 fluid ounces)
  • Ice, an orange slice, and a small sprig of fresh rosemary

How to make it

  1. Stir the cranberry juice, orange juice, lime juice, and maple syrup together in a glass. Taste and adjust the sweetness.
  2. Add ice, top with chilled sparkling water, and stir gently.
  3. Give the rosemary sprig a gentle clap between your palms to release its fragrance, then tuck it into the glass with an orange slice.

๐Ÿ Make it ahead for Thanksgiving
For six glasses, stir together 1ยฝ cups cranberry juice, ยพ cup orange juice, 6 tablespoons lime juice, and up to 6 tablespoons maple syrup. Refrigerate the mixture. When guests are ready, divide it among six glasses with ice and top each with 3 ounces of sparkling water.

๐Ÿซ A little RosemaryThyme twist
If youโ€™re making my Blue Cranberries for Thanksgiving, save a few blueberries for the drinks! Crush a few thawed blueberries in the bottom of each glass before adding the ice and juice mixture. Theyโ€™ll give it a deeper berry color and a touch of sweetness.

๐ŸŽƒ Rosemary Thyme No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake

#WalmartPartner โ€” As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

I love a dessert I can tuck into the refrigerator the night before Thanksgiving. This one has the warm spices of pumpkin pie, the creamy filling of cheesecake, and a graham cracker crust thatโ€™s ready to fill. Just stir, spoon, and chill. ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‚

๐ŸŽƒ RosemaryThyme No-Bake Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake

Ingredients

  • 1 ready-made 9-inch graham cracker crust
  • 1 tub (24.3 ounces) Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake Filling
  • ยพ cup canned 100% pure pumpkin
  • 1ยฝ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

Directions

  1. Stir the pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and optional vanilla together in a mixing bowl.
  2. Gently stir in the cheesecake filling just until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top. If thereโ€™s any extra, spoon it into a little dessert cup for the cook. ๐Ÿ˜Š
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Serve cold, with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon if you like.

A little kitchen tip ๐Ÿ‚
Measure out just ยพ cup of pumpkin to keep the filling thicker. If youโ€™re using individual spices, mix ยพ teaspoon cinnamon, ยผ teaspoon ground ginger, ยผ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a small pinch of ground cloves.

This November, Iโ€™m sharing a little Scripture each day as we look ahead to Thanksgiving. I hope youโ€™ll join me in taking a quiet moment to pray and thank God for the everyday blessings we sometimes hurry past.

๐Ÿ™ โ€œContinue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;โ€
โ€” Colossians 4:2 (KJV)

Today, as we bring our worries to God, letโ€™s also tell Him about one small thing weโ€™re grateful for. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ‚ Thankful Hearts ยท Day Four ยท November 4

๐Ÿ“– Hebrews 12:28โ€“29 (KJV)

โ€œWherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.โ€

November has a way of reminding me how quickly things change. A tree that was golden yesterday can be nearly bare after one windy night. Iโ€™m grateful for that little reminder of what Hebrews promises us todayโ€”a kingdom that cannot be shaken.

I want to carry that gratitude into the ordinary things I do today. A little more patience when plans change. A few quiet minutes to pray. An act of kindness that nobody else needs to see. Each one is a small way to serve God with a thankful heart.

๐Ÿ™ Lord, thank You for the gift of Your unshakable kingdom. Help me worship You with reverence and let my gratitude show in the way I care for others today. Amen.

โ˜” Rainy November Errands | RosemaryThyme Mercantile ๐ŸŒฟ

A chilly November rain makes me want to stay home with a cup of coffee, but the errands still have to get done! This plaid-lined hooded raincoat and a pair of Dr. Schollโ€™s Mara ankle boots with memory foam cushioning make heading out the door a little easier.

I paired them with a soft cream turtleneck and black straight-leg pants. A black U.S. Polo Assn. lock satchel and a little gold-tone heart necklace from Time and Tru finish the outfit. I love how the plaid peeks out when the coat is open.

Iโ€™m just loving all the clothes Iโ€™m finding at Walmart lately. And what I love even more? I can pick up something cute to wear without dipping into my grocery budget! The grocery money is safe, lol. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Rosemary Thyme Slow Cooker Chicken, White Bean & Vegetable Stew

#WalmartPartner โ€” As a Walmart Creator, I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through my Walmart links.

Some days call for a simple supperโ€”something warm and nourishing that makes good use of what we already have. ๐Ÿ’›

My slow cooker is the most-used piece of cooking equipment in my kitchen, and this cozy stew is another reason why! Tender chicken, creamy white beans, and Great Value frozen mixed vegetables come together in an herb-seasoned broth. Itโ€™s an affordable family meal made without cream, butter, or canned cream soup.

๐ŸŒฟ RosemaryThyme Slow Cooker Chicken, White Bean & Vegetable Stew

Makes approximately 4 servings

๐Ÿ›’ Ingredients

โ€ข 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, fully thawed
โ€ข ยฝ medium onion, chopped
โ€ข 2 garlic cloves, minced
โ€ข 2 cups Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth
โ€ข 1 can (15โ€“15.5 ounces) no-salt-added cannellini or great northern beans, drained and rinsed
โ€ข 3 cups Great Value Frozen Mixed Vegetables
โ€ข ยฝ teaspoon dried thyme
โ€ข ยฝ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
โ€ข ยผ teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
โ€ข A squeeze of fresh lemon juice, optional

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Directions

  1. Place the chopped onion and garlic in the slow cooker. Arrange the thawed chicken breasts on top.
  2. Pour in the unsalted chicken broth. Sprinkle with thyme, crushed rosemary, and black pepper.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for approximately 4โ€“5 hours, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ยฐF. Begin checking around 3 hours if your chicken breasts are small, as slow cookers vary.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken and cut or shred into bite-size pieces. Cover and refrigerate while the vegetables cook.
  5. Stir the drained beans and frozen mixed vegetables into the broth. Cover and cook on HIGH for approximately 30โ€“60 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the stew is hot throughout.
  6. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and heat through to 165ยฐF. For a slightly thicker broth, mash a few of the beans against the side of the pot. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired.

๐ŸŒฟ Helpful Kitchen Notes

โ€ข Choose chicken without an added salt solution, along with unsalted broth and no-salt-added beans, to help keep sodium down.

โ€ข For a heartier stew that stretches a little farther, add a second can of drained, rinsed white beans. Mash some before stirring them in for extra body without cream.

โ€ข The chicken and beans provide protein, while the mixed vegetables add color and varietyโ€”all in one comforting bowl.

๐Ÿ’› A little RosemaryThyme thought

A good supper doesnโ€™t have to be expensive or complicated. Sometimes caring for our families looks like using whatโ€™s in the freezer, putting a few simple ingredients in the slow cooker, and letting that be enough.
