Different Plates. Same Table.

My goal is simple: make dinner work for everyone at the table...

Hi! I’m Jill. Welcome to Thyme and Flame.

Here you'll find flexible recipes for a family of three with very different dietary needs—a lifelong vegetarian (that's me!), a gluten-free and dairy-free teen, and a very particular meat-loving husband.

Yes, that means this vegetarian cooks meat—mostly outside on the grill.

My goal is simple: make dinner work for everyone at the table. I share flexible recipes, easy swaps, and meals that can be adapted for different tastes and diets—without making completely separate dinners. Because in our house, different plates still mean the same table.
