Scotch Egg Sauce
Scotch Egg Sauce. ‘Scotch’ as in hard-cooked, not hard-liquor. This sauce brought back memories. The first bite gave me a warm familiar feeling and I remembered creamed eggs over toast. A breakfast for dinner meal we ate as kids and apparently liked. Looking back, it may have been one of the easiest (and affordable) meals Mom could get on the table in a hurry. I’m sure she ‘sold’ it in such a way that made it a favorite. So many things I’d like to ask her.

Honey BBQ Pork Back Ribs
Our ‘unofficial kick-off to summer’ was this past weekend and included Honey BBQ Pork Back Ribs. Tender, finger-licking good, awe-mazing Honey BBQ Pork Back Ribs. One of our favorite ‘grilling’ cookbooks is Championship Barbecue Sauces by Chef Paul Kirk. We adapted his Kansas City Style Ribs recipe.

Pan Seared Sea Scallops {with Basil Pesto Pasta}
Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Basil Pesto Pasta. Fill my pasta bowl with capellini tossed in fresh Basil Pesto and I am one happy camper. Top it with pan seared scallops and I’m liable to do a back flip. Something I’d regret in the morning.

Taco Salad {with Doritos}
Flash backwards to January, NFL Playoffs were underway and I was itching to host a Super Bowl Party. I decided to make this Taco Salad with Doritos recipe, in honor of my favorite Super Bowl Commercials, and share it on Lemony Thyme the week before the Big Game. That was the plan. Right up until our home team, the Falcons, got beat in the last round.

Grilled Caesar Salad {with Herb Grilled Chicken & Shrimp}
I’ve been intrigued by the sounds of a Grilled Caesar Salad for some time now. And even more so when it’s topped with Herb Grilled Chicken & Shrimp. Perhaps it’s the warm weather that’s rolled in or the upcoming ‘official kick-off to summer’ Memorial Day Weekend. Whatever the reason…I want to be out of the kitchen and onto my back deck.

The Classic Cobb Salad
The Classic Cobb Salad. The quintessential Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry recipe just might be The Cobb Salad. After all, as the story goes, that’s exactly how this world-famous salad came to be back in 1934. Bob Cobb, owner of the legendary Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, got a midnight hankering for something to eat. Midnight snacks can be some of the best meals. Anyway, he went pilfering through his restaurant’s industrial sized refrigerator pulling out a variety of leftover ingredients (hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, avocado, tomato, cooked chicken, blue cheese…) and proceeded to chop them into a massive salad. He snagged a few slices of crispy bacon from a line-cook on his…

Classic Beef Stew
It’s really hard to top a nice big bowl of Classic Beef Stew. Slow braised pieces of beef and root vegetables, cooked in a rich beef broth until tender. Served in big bowls with crusty bread. I’m not sure there’s much more to say about that. I’ll let the pictures speak to you. Take your time, I’m in no hurry. When you’re ready, our recipe method is below.

Thai Beef Salad {with Fresh Herbs}
Thai Beef Salad. What a lovely way to enjoy a good piece of beef. I know most recipes call for using lean flank steak. And while I’m sure that’s very nice on this salad, on the rare occasion that we have steak, I prefer the most tender cut I can find. And that would be a filet. Grilled to medium-rare. Sliced nice and thin. It was that thought alone that inspired this recipe post. Every bite of this Thai Beef Salad is a flavor explosion.
