    Penne with Vodka Sauce {penne alla vodka}

    November 12, 2014 / No Comments

    Do you ever get stuck in a pasta rut? Or better yet a ‘what’s for dinner’ rut?  We have become such fans of Spaghetti & Meatballs that we have it almost weekly.  No complaints, but I was ready for a change.  Enter cream and vodka.  Voila Penne with Vodka Sauce {penne alla vodka}.

    Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs

    November 8, 2014 / 2 Comments

    I’m Libby with Lemony Thyme and the voice behind this blog, however I learned the fundamentals from a variety of sources.  When I started this blog 2+ years ago, my family was supportive yet cautious.  I’ll tell you more about that but first I must introduce a staple recipe, Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs.  Fall off the bone beefy goodness.

    Cheesy Bowtie & Butternut Squash Bake

    November 6, 2014 / 1 Comment

    This Cheesy Bowtie & Butternut Squash Bake was born out of ingredients already on hand.  It’s loaded with veggies and I promise you even the youngest members of the family will love this dish.  Butternut squash, fresh mushrooms & spinach, an open box of pasta and the end of a hunk of cheddar cheese came together in a snap.

    Steak Soup

    November 3, 2014 / 6 Comments

    Many years ago I went to Kansas City on a business trip.  I was invited to dinner with a dear friend at one of the wonderful Steakhouses in town.  I informed in advance that besides amazing steaks, this particular establishment was famous for their Steak Soup.

    Rustic Potato Chowder {with Bacon}

    October 30, 2014 / No Comments

    Rustic Potato Chowder with Bacon.  After one bite I knew we would have to recreate it for Lemony Thyme.  It’s hearty enough to enjoy as a meal and easy enough to become a weeknight favorite. I was just having a conversation with a friend about how bacon makes everything better.  I’ve shared before that we keep our bacon in the freezer.  That way we always have some on hand and it’s easy to cut into pieces that cook quickly.  Bacon adds wonderful flavor to this chowder, but feel free to omit for a vegetarian version.  Leftover cooked new potatoes also contributed to the minimal effort required.

    Besides how delicious this Chicken Piccata recipe is, it also comes together quickly from ingredients likely already in your fridge/pantry.  That qualifies this as a great week night meal.

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.
