We rarely have a loaf of bread on hand, except when it’s tomato season. So for brunch today I went with a savory French Toast recipe that incorporated fresh herbs, tomatoes, and Indian spices. Masala Egg Toast might be a new favorite.

Southwest Corn & Jalepno Fritters from Lemony Thyme

College Football Season is upon us. In fact, for our team it’s GAME DAY!! Since we’re a foodie family, Game Day is one more reason to create new dishes. Our inspiration comes from our opponents. Yes, we like to envision our rivals as a meal. For example if we’re playing the Arkansas Razorbacks….we might have a meal of Braised Pork. I’ve been warned that talking College Football is akin to discussing religion and politics. So instead we’ll focus on these Southwest Skillet Corn Fritters {with Avocado Ranch Dip}. We devoured them.

Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy from Lemony Thyme

We’ve made this dish so often that frankly I’ve taken for granted how good it is. Now that school is back in session the talk around the office has changed from backyard BBQ’s and poolside picnics to family friendly weeknight meals. These Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy are simple and delicious.

Blueberry Balsamic Red Onion & Gruyere Grilled Cheese2

I’m always, always on the lookout for the next best grilled cheese sandwich. I seek inspiration at every turn. Every turn down the grocery store isle. Every turn through food magazine features. And every page turn of my current favorite cook book.

And there she was. Right in front of me for nearly a month before she jumped out and bit me. That gorgeous Emmentaler on Rye sandwich inspired our Blueberry Balsamic Red Onion & Gruyere Grilled Cheese.

As a kid who grew up eating frozen fish sticks at least once a week, and loving them I might add….imagine my delight when I was introduced to frozen battered shrimp. Oh my word. What a treat. Well….that was then, and these from scratch Crispy Fried Shrimp are definitely NOW.

We were gifted 7 pounds of fresh-off-the-boat Georgia shrimp a month or two back (thanks to my mom & dad in-law). I froze them in one pound packs so they would thaw quickly when we had a shrimp hankering. On this particular day, I couldn’t get enough of these Buffalo Shrimp. They were too tasty not to share.

Our Pretzel Crusted Pork Tenderloin {Stuffed with Jalapeño Peach Cream Cheese} would make a delicious Sunday dinner, but is easy enough for a weeknight meal. This recipe was born out of our new found love of skillet jams. A fantastic way to turn the fruits of the summer into recipe inspiration.
