Chocolate Rum Balls {Share the Love}
It was time for another Adventure in Chocolate. I started something kind of fun. Every other week or so I will choose one of my work-mates to select a recipe, that I then recreate, picture, post about, and deliver to them to Share the Love. This time up I chose Allan and he chose Chocolate Rum Balls.

Sage Brown Butter Shrimp Scampi
Sage Brown Butter seemed like a natural way to build this Shrimp Scampi dish. It’s well noted on the pages of Lemony Thyme that Sage Brown Butter is something I’m passionate about. The best way to describe it…’sensual.’ Definition ‘sen-su-al’ adjective: “relating to or consisting in the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of appetite.”

Grilled Swordfish with Lima Bean & Herb Butter
Grilled Swordfish with Lima Bean & Herb Butter. I haven’t always loved Swordfish. I remember it being dry and underwhelming, so frankly I avoided it. Too many other choices that I knew I loved. I’ve shared recently that fish speak to me. There’s really no other way to explain how I can approach a massive row of freshness and choose….that one, I’ll have that piece of fish. That’s what happened the day I fell in love with Swordfish.

Boursin Garlic & Herb Spread
I’m not sure when Boursin Spread became so popular, but as a child I can remember it being served with crackers and other nibbles in the 5 o’clock hour. What I don’t recall was if my mom made it herself or bought it. Flash forward 20 years and I’m certain my sister made it from scratch. She has always been creative and confident in the kitchen. I believe a bit of that has worn off on me.

Salted Chocolate Toffee Pretzel Bark {Share the Love}
Salted Chocolate Toffee Pretzel Bark. It was time for a new Adventure in Chocolate. And it was time to {Share the Love} at work. We have been slammed (in the very best way). It was time to deliver a little ‘out of sight’ sweet treat. This afternoon worked out perfectly.

Fresh Cream-Style Corn
Fresh Cream-Style Corn. On the East Coast we are heading into the season of fresh local produce. Soon the Farmers’ Markets will reopen, where rows of pick up trucks piled high with ‘corn on the cob’ will sit. I want us to be ready.

Bread Machine Bread Bowls
Bread Machine Bread Bowls. Perfect for Soups, Stews, Chilis & Chowders. By popular demand I am sharing our Bread Bowl recipe, using dough made in our bread machine. We followed the recipe for the French Bread Dough and instead of cutting it in half for two baguettes, we cut it in four pieces for bread bowls.

Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}
Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}. The day started with a ‘fresh as can be’ 1 1/2 lb. cod fillet. No plan for it, just a piece of fish too good to pass up. What I was craving, quickly became my motivation for making this dish. What I was craving, would be made from the leftovers. I set out on a mission to find the right recipe, that the next day, would beg to be turned into…Fish Chowder. This brilliant non-plan to accommodate my craving, almost went very wrong.

Scotch Egg Sauce
Scotch Egg Sauce. ‘Scotch’ as in hard-cooked, not hard-liquor. This sauce brought back memories. The first bite gave me a warm familiar feeling and I remembered creamed eggs over toast. A breakfast for dinner meal we ate as kids and apparently liked. Looking back, it may have been one of the easiest (and affordable) meals Mom could get on the table in a hurry. I’m sure she ‘sold’ it in such a way that made it a favorite. So many things I’d like to ask her.
