I discovered a couple things from this recipe. Greek Yogurt makes a pretty darn good substitute for mayonnaise IF you are adding some punchy flavors to it….like cumin, coriander, and orange juice & zest. That’s exactly what makes up the delicious dressing for this Apple Fennel Slaw. Continue reading »

Asparagus & Goat Cheese Tart
Asparagus lined one side of my grandfather Boppy’s garden, the only barrier between me and the glorious blueberry bushes. It seemed with each days passing it grew a foot taller. It’s feathering shoots locked hands making it nearly impossible to pass through. I had no use for it when I was eight. Continue reading »

Farmers Market Roasted Veggie Lasagna. I hope the picture above does this dish justice. It was amazing. I’m not one to go crazy with personal horn tooting but this was a huge success. I have shared it with 13 people as of noontime today. The responses were unanimous. “Oh my.” “Can I have one more bite.” “Yum!” “Is this recipe on Lemony Thyme?” Continue reading »

I’m so happy this time of year. There’s something so beautiful about fresh from the garden veggies and herbs. Throughout this past winter and spring we’ve been enjoying Parmesan Herb Roasted Potatoes. Why not show our baby squash and spring onions the same kind of love?! Continue reading »

The next time you visit your local Farmers Market have this recipe in the back of your mind. In fact if you arrive near the close of the market, which means the ‘prettiest’ veggies will have been picked over, you’ll often find farmers willing to let their remaining produce go at a reduced price. Perfect for making a giant batch of Farmers Market Minestrone Soup which allows you to {Share the Love}. Continue reading »

I could hardly wait for today to finally get here. It’s opening day for our local Farmers’ Market. Every Wednesday and Saturday from now through October we will be buying our fresh produce from local farmers. I could hardly wait to get there, then I could hardly wait to leave so I could show off my bounty. Recipe inspiration came streaming through my mind as did recipes past where fresh vegetables transformed the dish. That’s when I decided to round-up all my Farmers’ Market Favorites in one post.

I was walking with a friend last week and out of the blue… ‘stuffed artichokes’ to which I emphatically replied ‘yes’ love them. Then I couldn’t get them off my mind. Are you an artichoke fan? Steamed, then pull their lushes pedals off one by one and dunk them in butter or better yet a mayo/mustard dip?? Are you with me? Continue reading »
