Eggplant Parmesan Stacks
Eggplant Parmesan Stacks. I won’t pretend this is anything more than an attempt to sneak another Eggplant Parmesan recipe onto the pages of Lemony Thyme. I want us to have options after all. And they are kind of fun all stacked up and pretty.

Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich. We had to do it. You know we’ve got basil growing faster than a speeding bullet. Add a ball of fresh mozzarella able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. And an Italian bread getting eaten faster than a locomotive…I must act quickly.

Mind you I was 13 and my culinary skills were….non-existent. I plan to share more about this fabulous family cookbook in the near future, but for now I’ll focus on these Italian Stuffed Mushrooms.

Veggie Frittata {Breakfast Burrito or Quesadilla}
“We can sleep til we get up.” That’s what we love about Saturday mornings. We did at least until we got a puppy.

For our most recent Sundays with Shelby outing, we went to R. Thomas Deluxe Grill.

And I didn’t work alone.

Fresh Cream-Style Corn
Fresh Cream-Style Corn. On the East Coast we are heading into the season of fresh local produce. Soon the Farmers’ Markets will reopen, where rows of pick up trucks piled high with ‘corn on the cob’ will sit. I want us to be ready.
