    That thyme y’all!

    It might look like too much, but it’s just right!

    The lemon juice and the garlic and the thyme – it just works. It works really well.

    This is one of those – wow, such a simple combo of ingredients, but it sure packs a delicious punch – kinds of meals.

    Plus – it’s freezer friendly. And takes minutes to get going in the morning – straight outta the freezer! Enjoy!
