Lemony Thyme was born out of my new found love of cooking (and eating) when I discovered how fresh herbs could bring a dish to life.  We bought three whiskey barrels for the back porch and filled them full of young herb plants.  Spring Thyme looked something like this when we first began.

Spring Thyme

Then as the summer sun showered our young plants with love, they began to flourish.   Every recipe was an opportunity to harvest these glorious herbs.  Just as fresh as the produce of the season, our dishes were bright with fresh herb flavors.  Summer Thyme was a happy thyme for certain.

Huevos Rancheros

While these aren’t near authentic Huevos Rancheros, they are a nice twist on those wonderful Mexican Ranch Eggs.  I tossed onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper and then roasted them for about 20 minutes until the onions were tender and the tomatoes began to burst.  Continue reading »

Apple Cranberry Crisp

Scrolling through my Lemony Thyme News Feed yesterday I discovered this recipe posted by Feastie (on behalf of Two Peas and Their Pod).  My first thought was YES, I do have apples and cranberries in my fridge, purchased with good intentions, yet still patiently waiting for their time to shine.  My second thought was THIS is exactly the recipe that my brand new adorable mini covered baking dishes are longing for.  My third (and final thought) was….oh my, forget the first two thoughts…this Apple Cranberry Crisp sounds awe-mazing and I’m making it.

Reuben Sandwich from Lemony Thyme

Sometimes less is more.  I know I’ve said that recently in a post.  I’m intentionally practicing that line.  Sometimes less is more.  Key word here ‘sometimes.’  Perhaps to a fault, I’ve always been a fan of ‘the more the merrier,’ however last night called for a simple, quick and easy dinner.  The Classic Reuben Sandwich on fresh bakery marble rye bread with a schmear of amazing Homemade Russian Dressing was just right.
