I love the holidays. The BEST food shows up on the break room table. At my office, the break room table is the ‘water-cooler.’ It’s where the ‘good’ stuff is shared…often in the form of food or thoughtful words, sometimes even confessions, but lately it’s been a lot about what we’re going to give up on January 1st. We’ll shall save our ‘resolutions’ post for a couple weeks from now. Tonight let’s talk about Mel’s Mouthwatering Cheese Cookies. Continue reading »

Posted in breakfast & brunch, love to cook, Sundays with Shelby
It’s been too long since my last Sundays with Shelby outing. Today I’ve come up with a sure fire way to entice her for breakfast. We recently made Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits {Red Lobster Inspired} and they were delicious on their own. We’re going to elevate the game by building a classic Bacon, Egg & Cheddar Cheese Biscuit out of them. Oh Shelby your mamma’s calling… Continue reading »

While writing a post recently on Bang Bang Shrimp {Bonefish Grill Inspired} I polled my family on which restaurant dishes kept them coming back for more. P.F. Chang’s Chicken & Cashew Lettuce Wraps got a mention, as did Chili’s Southwest Eggrolls. But when I mentioned Cheddar Biscuits from Red Lobster, the response was….Mmmmm yes!! So on that night I made them for dinner to go with our homemade turkey soup. Today they are a breakfast invitation for a Sundays with Shelby outing. Continue reading »

Toothacher Bars. The name would indicate overly sweet and decadent, however these bars are so much more than that. Chocolate, caramel, and pecans make them decadent yes, but an oatmeal crumble base and topping is what makes them spectacular!!

Happy 12.12.12!! I thought it would be fun to celebrate the last of the great repeating days in our lifetimes with a couple Top 12 Lists straight from the Lemony Thyme Kitchen.

I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with my new friend and fellow food lover Sandi-A New York Foodie. She’s invited me to do a guest post on her blog, which will be a first for me. I’ve chosen Salmon Marbella, because in a round about way, this dish brought us together.
Lemony Thyme was actually the inspiration for this dish….which feels kind of cool. Coming off a full week of Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry we treated ourselves to a nice big piece of salmon. We tossed ideas back and forth on how we would prepare it but made no progress. I called up our love food photography… page and perused it until I landed on Chicken Marbella….why not. The ingredients work well with salmon (and we happen to have them on hand), in fact those punchy flavors coupled with the natural salmon oils might just be amazing. Yes, it shall be Salmon Marbella over Toasted Israeli Couscous for dinner. Continue reading »

This week my office is doing a little holiday baking for our wonderful loyal customers. There’s something special about receiving a gift of home-baked goodness….so we shall Share the Love. I chose this recipe for Turtle Shortbread Cookies from bettycrocker.com because I have a soft spot for shortbread. For as many years as I can remember there have been Walkers Shortbread Cookies in my Christmas Stocking. I love them. Worship them actually.

Posted in appetizers, love to cook
Went to a great Wine & Tapas restaurant Friday evening with 10 of my favorite ladies. Up one side of our table and down the other were small plates of love. Tuna Tartare, Kobe Beef Sliders, Pistachio Crusted Scallops, Eggplant Caviar, Lobster Mac n Cheese…oooo, let’s say that one again, Lobster Mac n Cheese. Which reminds me of a picture I saw in the book Bite by Bite by Peter Callahan (which is on my Wish List). Mac & Cheese Bites in Parmesan Crisp Cups. Who could resist?! Continue reading »
