I am making this today. I only had ground thyme and did not use the full amount. It is a little over powering. What can I add to counter act this?
Hi Lucinda – there are over 25 recipes listed here. I don’t know which one you’re referring to. If it’s a non Very Culinary link, you’ll need to contact that particular blogger. Thanks!
I can’t wait for leftovers – I think they are the best part!! Thanks for including me!
So many yummy options!
