It's Sunday and that means it's time for a NEW Sunday Thymes! Today, we are sharing what's new on the blog, some fun finds, and what we've been up to! Please leave a comment if you have any questions or just want to say hi, we love hearing from you.

I'm holding space for gratitude. For the courage and sacrifice of those who served, and for the families who stood behind them. Veterans Day is a day that brings perspective, and I'm always reminded of how much we owe to so many.

What's Happening

This week felt a little extra special in the best possible way. Hubby and I celebrated our 36th anniversary, which always sneaks up on me and still manages to make me pause. It's one of those quiet milestones that reminds you how much life happens in the in-between moments-morning coffees, shared errands, and all the tiny, ridiculous things that make a marriage what it is. I'm grateful for every bit of it.

We also finally finished cleaning up the backyard. The project that started as "this won't take long at all" turned into something that definitely took weeks. But now that it's done, I'm excited that we got it finished before the Chicago winter sets in.

Somewhere between all of that, we managed two lovely dinners with a few friends-the kind where the conversation drifts long after the plates are cleared and you realize how fun those moments are. It never fails to remind me how much I need time like that. Good people, good food, and the feeling of being completely at ease… truly the best kind of evenings.

Lion's Mane Mushroom Steak With Gravy
The first time I cooked a Lion's Mane Mushroom steak, I was completely blown away by its meaty texture and rich flavor. I couldn't wait to start developing this Lion's Mane Mushroom Steak with Gravy-it checked all the boxes for comfort food in our house.

This easy sweet potato gratin recipe is made with Gruyère cheese and a cream sauce flavored with garlic and sage. It's similar to a classic potatoes au gratin recipe, but made with sweet potatoes for a fall twist. It's vegetarian and gluten-free.

This Cranberry Chutney is an excellent alternative to the traditional cranberry sauce on your holiday table. It is full of fresh fruit and nuts and flavored with cinnamon, cloves, and your favorite brandy! The tartness of the cranberries is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the apples, pears, and oranges in this recipe.
