Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup
Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup. I recently saw a fb post from a well known blogger that asked followers if they used canned goods in their cooking. She received hundreds of comments that ranged from “NEVER” with a long list of the reasons why not to, to “My husband and I both work. Coming home to a crock-pot meal (that calls for cream of…) allows me time to play with my daughter before bed.”

Finally a cake. I decided our first cake recipe should become our signature cake. Since Lemony Thyme was, and continues to be, the inspiration for this humble blog she shall have her very own cake. Lemony Thyme Pound Cake {with Lemon Glaze}.

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.

Bacon & Sage Soda Bread
Bacon & Sage Soda Bread. I first tackled making Irish Soda Bread on St. Patrick’s Day. Much easier than I had expected, made from ingredients we typically have on hand. AND can be ready in 35-40 minutes, which is nice. Especially when the Classic Beef Stew you’re making is almost finished and you realize you have no crusty bread, which is practically an ingredient on it’s own.

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Two ingredients, so much flavor. Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. Two things you can generally find in our freezer are bacon and shrimp. Bacon because we use it to add flavor to many dishes, but don’t often eat it as…well bacon. We keep frozen shrimp on hand for easy week night meals or in case we’re invited to an impromptu gathering and need a quick & tasty appetizer. Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is just that. We’re open to invitations.

Baked Summer Squash Chips
Have you ever made Baked Summer Squash Chips? Last July when summer squash was in abundance at the Farmers’ Market, I couldn’t help but bring home my fair share after every visit.

BLT Stack {with Fresh Herb Mayo}
BLT Stack {with Fresh Herb Mayo} The tomatoes are coming, the tomatoes are coming. Are you as ready as we are for some nice vine ripened heirloom tomatoes? They are such a wonderful treat no matter how you serve them. I decided to stack them up for fun and dress them with a little fresh herb mayo and crispy crumbled bacon.

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.
