I uttered the words “I have an abundance of blueberries” the other day and oh my word….you got on to me. I promise you not a single blueberry was left unturned or uneaten. The majority of them found their way into these awe-mazing Blueberry Pecan Crumble Bars.

This Tomato, Cheddar & Basil Pie might just be the prettiest pie I’ve ever made. There’s something so beautiful about a rainbow of homegrown ripe tomatoes.
I’ll let these pictures do the talking. Words wouldn’t do it justice. Continue reading »

Farmers Market Roasted Veggie Lasagna. I hope the picture above does this dish justice. It was amazing. I’m not one to go crazy with personal horn tooting but this was a huge success. I have shared it with 13 people as of noontime today. The responses were unanimous. “Oh my.” “Can I have one more bite.” “Yum!” “Is this recipe on Lemony Thyme?” Continue reading »

At first this Turkey Divan Grilled Cheese Sandwich vision seemed a bit of a stretch. However, since it was born out of ingredients already in our fridge/pantry it was worth giving it a go. No risk, no reward.

Our Jalapeno Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole is a spin off of a very popular and delicious recipe. My mother-in-law served it for lunch recently and it’s been on our minds ever since.

This Sweet Potato Praline Cake is a combination of our favorite Praline Banana Nut Muffins and heavenly Sweet Potato Casserole with Brown Sugar & Pecans. I debated back and forth on what to name this coffee cake. The cake itself is sweet, yet in a subtle way and oh so moist. The praline topping is amazing. Definitely reminiscent of a favorite Thanksgiving side dish. Continue reading »

I’ve just spent a fantastic week with my niece Maya. On the second day of our stay-cation together I discovered how much she loooves her Dunkin Donuts Coffee Coolattas. I myself hadn’t ever had one, but given my attachment for McCafe’s Iced Caramel Mocha Latte I was all in. Continue reading »

It’s very well documented that I have a huge crush on lemon & thyme. So when I spotted this Lemony Thyme Peach Lemonade recipe in BHG magazine it instantly became 1st on the must-make list. Having fresh Georgia peaches at the Farmers Market was our little personal touch. Continue reading »

Spicy Shrimp & Spinach Quesadilla. Sometimes you have a dish at a restaurant that needs to be recreated. Typically it’s because that dish becomes engrained on your taste buds…..in a good way. Continue reading »
