I discovered a couple things from this recipe. Greek Yogurt makes a pretty darn good substitute for mayonnaise IF you are adding some punchy flavors to it….like cumin, coriander, and orange juice & zest. That’s exactly what makes up the delicious dressing for this Apple Fennel Slaw. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

Grilled Vietnamese Chicken Thighs.
To quote my in-house taste-tester B, “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. Continue reading »

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. That’s culinary talk for we’ve been eating them every chance we can. Last night it hit me. Why not turn this lovely head of cauliflower into Parmesan Herb Roasted Cauliflower Steaks.

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 to my bff on his day. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »
