Classic Loaded Baked Potato {with Butter, Sour Cream, Bacon, Cheddar and Chives}
This Classic Loaded Baked Potato. Popularized as a traditional side dish served with a nice juicy steak dinner. Any respectable steak house has worked nearly as hard to perfect the baked potato as they have say a Cowboy Cut Bone-In Rib Eye.

Isle of Palms Burger
Isle of Palms Burger inspired by Pawley’s Front Porch, Columbia, SC As we turned on the TV to watch Saturday afternoon college football, the analyst came on with his pregame show. Every week he visits a local restaurant in the town of the home team and shares his dining experiences. What an awesome job he has.

Breakfast Taquitos {with Bacon, Egg, Cheese & Home Fries}
Breakfast Taquitos. It was high time for a new breakfast addition to the pages of Lemony Thyme. It is after all my favorite meal of the day. Eggs might be the one ingredient I couldn’t envision “giving up” (“live without” seems rather extreme….but it would be difficult).

Brazilian Feijoada {Pork, Beef & Black Bean Stew}
Brazilian Feijoada {Pork, Beef & Black Bean Stew} The word Feijoada (pronounced fay-ZWAH-da) comes from the Portuguese word feijão which means “beans” and is the national dish of Brazil. This stew is made up of rich cuts of assorted pork and beef that are slow cooked with black beans, onions and garlic. It’s then served over rice with orange wedges which provide just the right flavor balance.

Baked Broccoli Bacon Cheddar Bites {…of love!}
Baked Broccoli Bacon Cheddar Bites I asked Shelby for some recipe inspiration. Perhaps something she had enjoyed recently in a restaurant that she’d like to see recreated. Just so happens she had visited her local watering hole the night before and apparently the Broccoli Cheddar Bites hit the spot. That was good enough for me to begin some recipe research.

Lamb Gyro {with Tzatziki Sauce}
Lamb Gyro with Tzatziki Sauce. One of my most favorite dishes to order from a Greek restaurant. There’s something so distinctive and special about the flavors of the heavenly sliced meat topped with the cool Tzatziki Sauce. If you love Gyros like I do then you know exactly what I’m talking about. This recipe brings all that together.

Happy Father’s Day & Eggs Benedict {from one year ago}
One year ago, on Father’s Day, I published my first post on Lemony Thyme. A website only I knew existed, I was writing to myself. It was scary intimidating at first. I had no real plan other than to bottle my creative passion in one neat and tidy place. A somewhat private place where family and friends might visit. That’s what I thought and hoped for a year ago.

Guacamole Deviled Eggs {with Crispy Bacon}
Guacamole Deviled Eggs with Crispy Bacon. One week to go before we complete our first year of ‘food blogging.’ A term I hesitated to use for most of this year. On one hand it was hard to put myself in that category, with so many very talented writers, recipe creators, and photography wizards. And on the other hand, I had always thought of a blog as a personal diary of sorts, something I couldn’t envision Lemony Thyme becoming last June. However, as time progressed I began to open up a bit. A simple reference from a friend or family member about something I wrote in a post, felt good. It made me…

Fish Chowder {and a Fish! story}
Fish Chowder served in Bread Bowls. <—- click here for Bread Bowl recipe. I approached the seafood counter at Whole Foods without a plan. Which is often how it goes. I’m looking for the fish to speak to me. Someone to stand out in the crowd. On this day, the cod did more than speak….they sang to me.

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…
