Here in the sunny south we’ve been experiencing some big weather swings. Cold one day, hot the next. Seems that kind of shift leads you straight into flu and cold season. Yep, that’s right. About 1/3 of my work family is or has been sick. The only thing I could think to do was make soup. Mushroom Soup with Cheesy Portobello Croutons hit the spot. Continue reading »

I wanted to deliver comfort. The kind of comfort that if only for a meal would help ease the weight of the day. Our most popular recipe on Lemony Thyme is our Salisbury Steak. Anytime I share it the response is overwhelmingly positive. Today I’m sharing that recipe except in the form of Salisbury Steak Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}. Continue reading »

Beef Bourguignon. Boeuf Bourguignon. Beef Burgundy. I think we grew up with this dish. No, not the first two. My Mom made beef burgundy often. The cuts of meat may have started out a bit tough requiring extra cooking love, but the end result was melt in your mouth wonderful. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

Braised Rack of Lamb.
Lamb is such a treat for me, especially when B gives it his special braising love. We found a gorgeous 8 rib rack at our local wholesale club. We promptly cut it in half. Two meals are better than one when you’re Cooking for Two. Continue reading »

Swedish Meatballs. Growing up, we enjoyed them every Christmas Eve as part of our annual holiday h’ordeuvres spread. I’m slowly recreating these recipes one by one. Some from memory and some that mom passed down to me. Sunday I pulled out this recipe card and took a stroll down memory lane. Continue reading »

Vietnamese Beef Pho.
Let me just say this about that. I don’t think I’ve ever delivered so much flavor with so little effort. When I got home from work I assembled everything I needed, put the broth and seasoning on to simmer, all in about 5 minutes. I did also pop our beef filet into the freezer, which later helped with getting a nice thin slice. Continue reading »

When I make French Onion Soup I know my family feels loved. That makes me happy. A big pot of buttery caramelized onions, fresh herbs & garlic, nice rich beef stock, topped with an over-sized crouton smothered with cheese. It’s LOVE I tell you. Continue reading »
