    Mexican Breakfast with Pulled Pork & Eggs {Breakfast for Dinner}

    October 28, 2012 / 3 Comments

    When we have leftover pork roast, recipe ideas begin swirling in my head.  Should we make Pozole, or Pork & Sweet Potato Hash, or Mexican Breakfast with Pulled Pork & Eggs.  This time it’s going to be Mexican Breakfast for dinner.

    Chicken Enchiladas {with Red Sauce}

    October 25, 2012 / 3 Comments

    The recipe inspiration for this dish comes from a dear sweet friend.  She delivered two pans of these delicious Chicken Enchiladas to my family at a time of need.  They were such a welcomed meal that so warmed our souls at that moment (and have every time I’ve made them since).  They are mild yet so full of flavor that they keep you coming back for more.

    Homemade Enchiladas Sauce is a complete game-changer. It’s well worth the 20 minutes it takes to prepare and is so much better than store bought.

    Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce {Enchiladas Verdes}

    October 24, 2012 / 6 Comments

    Found a fantastic and super easy recipe for tomatillo sauce which fit right into my plan.  I’ve been wanting to make ‘Red’ Enchilada Sauce which we LOVE…but with an abundance of tomatillos in my fridge…green was the more practical approach.  So Chicken Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce it is.

    Cuban Tilapia {Third Coast Inspired}

    October 10, 2012 / 2 Comments

    Way back when, when I was much younger, I would frequent a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall kind of place every Friday night (there really were holes in the wall, each with a detailed story).  This place was special.  It had extreme character and characters, beautifully colorful people and hand-painted murals of them, free flowing spirits and free spirited bar tenders, bathroom walls that told stories through their ‘underwater’ paintings, Calypso music throughout and a patio with thatched umbrella tables overlooking…..the parking lot.  And did I mention a kitchen manager that aimed to please.  Oh yes, the later in the evening you hung in….the more creative he became.  And that is where this Cuban Tilapia recipe was born.  One LATE Friday night….many…

    Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes {Share the Love}

    September 23, 2012 / 16 Comments

    Had a wonderful girls lunch out at the Cheesecake Factory this past week.  If you’ve ever been you know their menu is HUGE and everything sounds interesting and delicious.  At our request, our server gave us a run down of her favorites from each category.  She named Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes as one of her all time favorite appetizers, which was quickly seconded by the most experienced Cheesecake Factory veteran at the table.  That was easy! Bring 5 forks please.  Today I will use this recipe to try and lure my kid off the lake and into my kitchen.

    Salsa Verde

    September 23, 2012 / 3 Comments

    The star ingredient in Salsa Verde is the tomatillo.  Similar in appearance to a small green tomato (once their paper-like husk is removed), however with a quite different flavor.  The tomatillo has a mild, almost citrus like flavor.  They are great to cook with since they don’t need to be peeled or seeded.  Salsa Verde is as prominent in Mexican cooking as tomato sauce is to Italian cuisine.

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.
