    Cauliflower Cheese Grits {Low-Carb Side}

    July 15, 2012 / 4 Comments

    From time to thyme we go on a low-carb kick.  Cauliflower has become the new potato in our house.  We’ve made Cauliflower Mash for years, but have recently begun turning it into other side dishes, like Cauliflower Rice, Cauliflower ‘Potato’ Salad, and Cauliflower Cheese Grits.

    Sesame Brussels Sprout Slaw

    July 15, 2012 / 3 Comments

    Sesame Brussels Sprout Slaw We love slaw at our house and change up our recipe often.  But this version was very different.  The sesame oil & seeds added that yummy nutty flavor which worked so well with the balsamic.  We’ll surely have this one again.

    Blackened Blue Cod with Cauliflower Cheese Grits

    July 15, 2012 / No Comments

    I was asked yesterday “where do you get your recipes?”  The short answer is “everywhere.”  Certainly the Internet offers unlimited options, however I love my cookbooks, read cooking magazines, talk to people about recipes, sample food offerings every chance I get, and often offer myself samples “Want a Bite Lib?”

    Seared Scallops with Macadamia Cilantro Pesto

    July 14, 2012 / 7 Comments

    Just a little appeteaser… Start with beautiful sea scallops, rinse and pat dry.  For these I lightly rolled the edges of the scallops in some sea salt and freshly cracked pepper.  Set aside while you make pesto.

    Eggplant, Zucchini, & Squash Curry

    July 14, 2012 / 1 Comment

    A few years ago I took on a new level of interest in cooking.  I became a student of spices, learned which spices went best with which ingredients, and tested different combinations.  During that particular Autumn season soups, stews, chilis, and sauces were transformed.  Our kitchen was filled with amazing aromas and our favorite soup bowls filled with new fresh flavors.

    Zephyr Squash Summer Salad

    July 12, 2012 / 2 Comments

    I could not wait to get home to my farmers’ market bounty last night.  Most excited about using zephyr squash for the first time and decided on this salad after visiting the sites of Zephyr Farms & The Kitchn.  I simply cut the squash into ribbons and then steamed it until just tender…it still had a nice crunch to it.

    Coconut Almond Shrimp with Sweet & Spicy Orange Sauce

    July 8, 2012 / 2 Comments

    Coconut Almond Shrimp with Sweet & Spicy Orange Sauce. Tonight marks the end of the 4th of July Holiday week.  And if you’re anything like me, you’ve been milking it for everything it’s worth.  We have spent the last 36 hours on “vacation” at our good friend’s new lake home.  Tucked away miles from the hustle and bustle (yet less than an hour from home), sits their beautifully peaceful retreat.  We rolled in jet ski adventures, with big laughs, a great dinner, porch sitting, and Breakfast at Wimbledon.  Just perfect!

    Surreal Bites

    July 7, 2012 / 4 Comments

    Caesar Teaser in Parmesan cup… My mom gave me a unique cookbook several years ago called Surreal Gourmet Bites.  It changed my life or at least the way I viewed food.  Thank you Surreal Gourmet (Bob Blumer) for inspiring me to eat with my eyes first and thanks mom for always choosing gifts for life.

    Cuban Stuffed Pork Chop {with Sweet Potato Chips}

    Sometimes a recipe comes to you… Wow! What kind of intro is that?! Recipes come to me in my sleep, in line at the seafood counter, checkout counter, bookstore, kitchen table, pillow talk, water cooler….love to eat.  I completely love talking about food.  My co-workers are amazing inspiration.  We eat together, share leftovers, and stories of recipe incarnations.  Today I went to the grocery store at noon to pick up lunch for a few girls in the office.  At the deli counter were prepared Cuban Sandwiches.  I love a Cuban!  And that’s how it happens.  How can I deconstruct a Cuban sandwich and turn it in to “What’s for Dinner?”

About Libby

Hi, I'm Libby and welcome to Lemony Thyme. I hope you'll enjoy this collection of recipes, eating experiences, and food photography. My cooking abilities rose to a new level when I started incorporating fresh herbs. I began to understand the term ‘layers of flavor’ and found myself deconstructing dishes with my tongue to identify each ingredient.
