I made a big pot of elk chili and decided to make the Lemon-Thyme Bread in the new issue. I didn't have lemon but I had a lime; I didn't have half-and-half but I had milk and plain Greek yogurt; and I didn't have fresh thyme but I had dried. Boy, oh, boy, did the bread taste GOOD with the chili!
Mmmmmm - Loyce! Elk! We haven't had that in years! Our uncle used to hunt for it in CO and then bring it home with him. There's nothing like elk sausage! I haven't received my copy of the Nov/Dec magazine yet - I'm sitting on pins and needles! Your substitutions sound great - I can't wait to try the bread - it sounds divine!!! And I even have a little bit of fresh thyme still out there in the garden - woohoo! :) - Nini
God gave us two hands... one to help ourselves, and one to help others!
I got mine last night and was drulling over the breads so I will have to make one this weekend.You sub's on the Lemon-Thyme sounds great and so does the elk chili. My Dad was our hunter and I grew up every year having a elk and deer in the freezer - sure miss that!!
I put a picture up on my blog of my Dad not too long ago about his hunting rules. Great old photo and tons of great memories - that picture was taken way before I was born but he hunted well into his 80's and gave me the love for the outdoors that I so cherish. Elk Chili was one of his favorites...

Today I made the Buttermilk Cherry Scones EXCEPT (!!!!) I used dried blueberries as I didn't have any cherries. I am so thankful that I have been cooking and baking long enough to make substitutions that don't ruin the end product. And, I didn't roll out the dough, just pressed it into the skillet and baked it. They were awesome.
I want to make the carrot bread with lots of cream cheese frosting. Maybe I'll just make the frosting. That's the best part anyway!
