Happy 3rd Anniversary Lemony Thyme
Three years ago today I ‘published’ my first post to Lemony Thyme. Eggs Benedict ~ Two Ways. Year one was a blur, year two was a bit more controlled, year three was very different. It took the first two years for me to find balance. My scales were tipping in the wrong direction. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from year three, then we’ll talk about the scale.

Lightened Up Shrimp & Grits
Came through the door last Friday evening (mind you…my most favorite evening to transition from work…to my garage…to the kitchen…is Friday). You know the feeling. What a Feeling!! Flash-Dance mode. Sorry. Not sorry. So I’ve made us a Lightened Up Shrimp & Grits.

Steamed Veggie Ramen Broth Bowl {with Fried Egg}
I enjoyed a lovely lunch date with Shelby and her roommate Clare. It was a post-birthday (for Shelby), pre-move in to a new cool place (for Shelby & Clare)…kind of celebration. Shelby chose a VERY popular restaurant called Buttermilk Kitchen. However, our hunger level and their wait time didn’t mesh so well. So we bailed and opted for Noodles. This recipe post is a recreation of the fresh & delicious Steamed Veggie Ramen Broth Bowl {with Fried Egg} I ordered.

Chopped Italian Submarine Salad
By the summer of sixth grade I was old enough to head off on my bicycle in the morning, with one stipulation, be home before dark. Most days for lunch I split an Italian Grinder with my BFF before heading to the lake. This Chopped Italian Submarine Salad has all those familiar wonderful flavors.

Gazpacho Grain Bowl {with Confetti Veggies}
I made a big batch of Gazpacho to take to a family gathering. I thought it would be a nice refreshing change and it was. However, even after our party I had a good amount left, along with my favorite fine diced confetti colored veggies. This is how the Gazpacho Grain Bowl with Confetti Veggies was born.

Hot Cuban Dip
The inspiration for this Hot Cuban Dip was the Cuban sandwich I had enjoyed the day before. With every bite I took I was reminded of how much I loved the flavor combination.

Weight Loss {a dieting diary of sorts}
April 28, 2013 I’ve been threatening a Health Kick, to kick our butts into shape, for quite some time now. I fear that time is rapidly approaching. Fear may be a bit strong, but I’m just not there yet. It usually takes the pop of fresh local produce at the farmers markets to get me out of Winter Comfort and into Savory Summer. I’ve set my sights on May 1st. The plan above was a pipe dream.

Avocado & Chicken Salad Boats
Avocado & Chicken Salad Boats with hints of lime, cumin and cilantro. This delicious plate could easily become my new favorite lunch. The mashed avocado replaces mayonnaise in this recipe, lending numerous healthy benefits.

Mediterranean Grilled Cheese {Gluten Free}
Wrapping up a fabulous April, spent celebrating National Grilled Cheese Month. Our Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich, layered with basil pesto, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, and cheese, was phenomenal. All that goodness was sandwiched between two slices of fresh baked Jackalope Real Bread. Let me tell you a bit about that.

Tipico Power Bowl {with Grilled Chicken}
This might be my most favorite salad EVER. I’m sometimes reminded not to make statements that can’t stand the test of thyme. If you deliver me a Tipico Power Bowl {with Grilled Chicken} 5 days a week, I’m certain I will sing your praises.
