First and foremost, Happy New Year!! We are looking forward to a delicious year ahead. New Year’s Day may seem like an odd time to post a recipe for Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. I’m guessing a good number of you (and me) are launching resolutions today, likely containing at least one involving health and wellness. Am I right? Continue reading »

It all began with an overripe bunch of bananas. I bought them with the best smoothie intentions. Before bed last night I declared Banana Cake is going to happen. Thanks to Pinterest and Sprinkle Some Sugar this holy amazingness happened. On Easter Sunday. Banana Upside Down Cake is a recipe you’ll want to remember. Continue reading »

College Football Season is upon us. In fact, for our team it’s GAME DAY!! Since we’re a foodie family, Game Day is one more reason to create new dishes. Our inspiration comes from our opponents. Yes, we like to envision our rivals as a meal. For example if we’re playing the Arkansas Razorbacks….we might have a meal of Braised Pork. I’ve been warned that talking College Football is akin to discussing religion and politics. So instead we’ll focus on these Southwest Skillet Corn Fritters {with Avocado Ranch Dip}. We devoured them.

When I first began the Lemony Thyme blog it was our fresh herb porch pots that I recognized/acknowledged/gave credit to/sited/attributed for my cooking inspiration. Fresh Herbs still continue to amaze and inspire me daily. However, I have found an equally intriguing element to cooking. Recreating fridge/pantry staples from scratch (or mostly from scratch). Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing is super easy to make at home and just as good if not better than the bottled variety. Continue reading »

Last week’s nostalgic tour of our favorite Classic Salad Recipes inspired me to make Green Goddess Dressing. An abundance of fresh basil (thanks to our Aero Garden) added one more layer of green goodness. Continue reading »

Peach Buttermilk Cobbler {with Vanilla Ice Cream}.
I discovered several months ago and quite by accident that some people prefer cobbler over cake. It just so happened on that day I had a quart of fresh blackberries. And so I made, and we mutually enjoyed, Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler.
On this day, I happen to have 10 peaches fresh from the Farmers Market. I’ll start by making Peach Buttermilk Cobbler. Continue reading »

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. Continue reading »

I came home from work on Friday night raving about this Tres Leches Cake that one of my co-workers shared with us (Happy Birthday Mel). I mean this cake stopped you in your tracks. Four layers of sweet milk cake with… Wait this is a Blackberry Buttermilk Cobbler post. Sorry. Continue reading »

Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread {with Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper}
As St. Patrick’s Day entered the radar of food bloggers and the like, the recipe sharing became fast and furious. I couldn’t have imagined Guinness could find it’s way into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert….but alas it’s been done. Wonderful dishes rich in flavor yet not overdone. I suspect that holds true for Ireland herself. I never question the authenticity of a dish, purely because I love to experiment with recipes and expect others do as well. Let that be the lead in to this not so traditional Brown Butter Irish Soda Bread with Rosemary & Cracked Black Pepper. Continue reading »
