    Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

    December 23, 2013 / No Comments

    Cheesy Mashed Potatoes are a favorite Thanksgiving and Christmas side dish.  Creamy mashed potatoes get a little flavor love with the addition of sour cream and cream cheese.  Then they are baked casserole style with a topping of shredded cheddar cheese.  One word.  Yummy.

    Christmas Cookie Memories {and 25+ Recipes}

    December 21, 2013 /

    Christmas Cookies.  As I type these words….images of the plates and plates of cookies we delivered come to mind.  When I say ‘we’ that would be my mom, sister and I….some 40 years ago.  All homemade with love. Sarah and I are coming to appreciate the energy and time Mom gave to ‘traditions.’  We made ‘plates and plates of cookies’ and delivered them to EVERYONE.  As 8 & 11 year-olds (plus or minus), who were the delivery messengers of our baking efforts, it at least seemed like we knocked on the doors of everyone we knew.

    Loaded Butternut Squash Chips

    December 17, 2013 / No Comments

    Loaded Butternut Squash Chips. Think loaded potato skins, but better.  At least that’s how we felt about them.  The hint of sweetness from the butternut squash was soooo good with the savory toppings.  These made a fantastic and fun appetizer.

    It’s been a challenging couple of weeks for my kid Shelby.  My tender-hearted 22 year old had her heart strings plucked like a banjo.  No phone conversation could soothe her, it was time for a little Mom love.  I told her to jump in the shower, get ready, I was heading her way.

    Nutella Truffles

    December 8, 2013 / 3 Comments

    Nutella Truffles.  I didn’t have to think twice when I read this for the first time.  Point me towards the Nutella isle. Nutella.  A phenomenon of sorts with mass appeal.  Moms love it because it makes breakfast more fun for their kidlets.  Dads love it straight from a spoon.  Bloggers love to celebrate National World Nutella Day and throw no caution to the wind as they exploit this ingredient.  Have you seen 3-ingredient Nutella brownies, mug cakes, pancakes?  It’s crazy!  In a good way.  Here are 8 Things You May Not Know About Nutella.  I’m all in.  Throw Nutella my way and I think we can all get happy!!

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.
