    Rumi’s Persian Kitchen {Sundays with Shelby}

    October 20, 2013 / 2 Comments

    About once per month my daughter Shelby and I plan and enjoy a day together.  While we see each other weekly and speak almost every day, these outings are our time to do something a little special.  We call these Sundays with Shelby.  This week we agreed to explore Persia…through her cuisine.

    Ethiopian Kitchen {Sundays with Shelby}

    September 9, 2013 / 6 Comments

    I had a fabulous day yesterday, spent in the company of my daughter Shelby.  As often as possible, and most always on Sundays, we get together for a day of catching up.  No matter how often we speak on the phone there’s nothing like the feeling that overcomes me every time I see her and each time we spend a day creating life’s memories.

    Swedish Meatballs.  Growing up, we enjoyed them every Christmas Eve as part of our annual holiday h’ordeuvres spread.  I’m slowly recreating these recipes one by one.  Some from memory and some that mom passed down to me.  Sunday I pulled out this recipe card and took a stroll down memory lane.

    Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb}

    August 9, 2013 / 2 Comments

    Shelby’s Yummus Hummus {Roasted Garlic & Herb} If my kid had a signature recipe it would have to be her Yummus Hummus.  She started making it several years ago as she discovered a new passion for ‘real’ food.  This recipe was something she could make completely from scratch.  She actually took great pride in soaking the garbanzo beans overnight and getting up in the morning to make a batch before heading off to work.  I remember always hoping she would leave a little behind for mom.

    Blueberry Basil Lemonade {and the Lemonade Stand}

    July 28, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Blueberry Basil Lemonade. One summer when we were small we begged and begged our mom to let us have a lemonade stand.  Please mom.  We promise we’ll do all the work.  As I recall I was about 5 and my sister Sarah 8.  We had big plans but were lacking in ‘how to start a business’ experience and the start up capital required, not to mention knowing how to make lemonade.  Mom somehow was able to distract us time after time, until we eventually stopped asking.

    Cheese Scalloped Corn Casserole {and an excerpt from The Moulding Board}

    July 26, 2013 / 9 Comments

    I was feeling a little sentimental and decided to pull out my treasured family cookbook, The Moulding Board.  Included are recipes dating as far back as the early 1900’s intermixed with pages from my Great Grandmother Nannie’s 1929 diary.  Such a wonderful way to get a glimpse of what life was like in Newtown, CT all those years ago.  Now on to the Cheese Scalloped Corn Casserole recipe, which happens to be my sister Sarah’s contribution to the collection.

    Ahi Tuna Noodle Casserole {with a Lemony Thyme Sauce}

    July 14, 2013 / 5 Comments

    I recently got on a kick of looking for ways to ‘Deconstruct’ recipes.  It seemed like a cool way to present a dish and the couple I have posted were quite fun.  Next up on my ‘to-be-deconstructed’ list was Tuna Noodle Casserole.  A comfort food dish that many of us grew up on (whether you liked it or not). My thought was to build the layers of flavor thoughtfully using top quality ingredients to deliver a bowl of comfort.  I think I’ve succeeded with this one.

    Crisp Cod Cakes {with Peach Basil Relish}

    June 22, 2013 / 1 Comment

    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.

    Fresh Veggie Nachos {Gluten Free}. I love my kid.  I know.  We all do (love our kids that is).  But I’m at that really great place you get to, when your ‘kid’ isn’t that much of a kid any more and becomes that cool friend you want to hang out with.  For our most recent Sundays with Shelby outing, we went to R. Thomas Deluxe Grill.

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.
