Mango Salsa.
You really ought to give fresh fruit a chance. I know I’m preaching to the choir for many of you, but there are a good number of people who don’t want to be bothered with fruit. Ahem.

Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs.
To quote my in-house taste-tester, “This is a flavor WIN.”
I’ll take that as a thumbs up. Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs marinated in a jalapeno orange marinade, then grilled to perfection. So delicious and as a bonus, figure friendly.

We’re dabbling with some new recipes. Full of flavor and of course fresh herbs. I ran across a recipe for Baked Eggs in Smoky Tomato Sauce…which became the base for this fabulous recipe.

Roasted Cauliflower Steaks {with Herbed Ricotta & Tomato Sauce}.
I can’t recall the last time I was so excited about a recipe. I mean I’m really, really excited about this one. Over the past several months we’ve been perfecting Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes.

Last Sunday, which also happened to be Father’s Day, I became inspired to make Homemade Fresh Tomato Juice. No, this wasn’t a health kick surge or an overachiever moment.
It was, for no other reason than, to deliver a Classic Bloody Mary this day.

Crisp Cod Cakes with Peach Basil Relish.
I had a moment yesterday. A really big moment. I was on my way to work via McDonald’s drive-thru when my phone rang. The voice on the other end said “Lib, I’ve got to do something.” I pulled my car into a parking lot and sat and listened. She proceeded to share a conversation she had with her 7 year-old daughter that morning…a conversation that brought us both to tears.

Eggplant Parmesan Stacks.
I won’t pretend this is anything more than an attempt to sneak another Eggplant Parmesan recipe onto the pages of Lemony Thyme. I want us to have options after all. And they are kind of fun all stacked up and pretty.

Homemade Fresh Tomato Juice.
When you’re craving a Bloody Mary with brunch and you’re in your pj’s with no intention of removing them anytime soon and there’s zero tomato juice in the house…

One year ago, on Father’s Day, I published my first post on Lemony Thyme. A website only I knew existed, I was writing to myself. It was scary intimidating at first. I had no real plan other than to bottle my creative passion in one neat and tidy place. A somewhat private place where family and friends might visit. That’s what I thought and hoped for a year ago.
