    Banana Upside Down Cake

    April 5, 2015 / 8 Comments

    It all began with an overripe bunch of bananas.  I bought them with the best smoothie intentions.  Before bed last night I declared Banana Cake is going to happen.  Thanks to Pinterest and Sprinkle Some Sugar this holy amazingness happened.  On Easter Sunday.  Banana Upside Down Cake is a recipe you’ll want to remember.

    April 3, 2015 / 12 Comments

    Yesterday I described a fantastic salad with Black Bean Puree that I enjoyed recently.  I’m recreating my favorite components, including Pico de Gallo and this amazing savory black bean dip.

    Pico de Gallo {Put The Lime In The Coconut}

    April 2, 2015 / 4 Comments

    I had a salad this week that stopped me in my eating tracks.  There was a lot going on with said salad.  Which made my mind drift from the company at the table.  No disrespect, but whoa what a salad.

    Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna

    March 31, 2015 / 2 Comments

    The pictures don’t do this recipe justice, but I am here to tell you that Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna is pure comfort.  Surprisingly, that comfort is delivered without a guilt trip.  That’s right, this recipe came straight out of the new Weight Watchers cook book AND it’s made in the slow cooker.  Badda bing.  Badda boom.

    Our Favorite Fish Sandwiches

    March 27, 2015 / 8 Comments

    While I’m not Catholic, I did grow up in a predominantly Catholic community.  I was the kid who begged to spend Friday night at my friend’s house because I knew there would be fish sticks or fish sandwiches for dinner.  Something I adored. It’s in that spirit that on this Friday evening I share some of our favorite Friday Night Fish Sandwiches with you.  Enjoy!!

    Braciola {Italian Beef Rolls}

    March 26, 2015 / 14 Comments

    Braciole {Italian Beef Rolls} slowly simmered in spicy Arrabbiata sauce until the beef is fork tender.  The filling, comprised of parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, Italian bread crumbs, garlic, toasted pine nuts, and hard-boiled egg, is my loose interpretation of this classic Italian dish.

    Thai Basil Egg White Omelet Bowl

    March 22, 2015 / No Comments

    Most days, whether at home or the office I’ll have an Egg White Omelet Bowl for breakfast.  A bed of spinach (getting my calcium anywhere I can), a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and scallions, and an egg white omelet packed with herbs.  Today, my herb of choice was Thai Basil which is thriving in our Aero Garden presently.  This Thai Basil Egg White Omelet Bowl fits in so nicely with my Healthy Choices plan.

    Just a quick relatively wordless Wednesday post. Creamy Dreamy Mint Chocolate Fudge.  Three ingredients.  Easy.  Melt in your mouth.  This is the first fudge recipe I learned to make back when I was in high school.  It has never failed me.

    Gruyere Cabbage {with Bacon}

    March 17, 2015 / 18 Comments

    We bought a 5 pound cabbage for 88 cents.  Not sure why I chose that as the intro line to this recipe, but dang cabbage is cheap.  Which makes really good cabbage recipes all the more appealing. We like many, had Corned Beef & Cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day.  We like many, have leftovers to repurpose.  Gruyere Cabbage was a dish my mom made often.  Today, I dug out the 30-year old hand written recipe card, made sense of the measurements, and added bacon.  Oh my!  I think Mom would be proud.

    Chicken Kiev {with Fresh Herbs & Garlic}

    March 15, 2015 / 21 Comments

    I looked out the back door at my fresh herb porch pots, expecting to see various shades of brown with brittle textures.  Yet instead I saw a burst of spring-thyme green.  Chives.  How on earth did this soft herb survive the unseasonably icy and cold winter?  It’s a mystery.  And a sign.  Make Chicken Kiev.

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.
