Herb Browned Butter Stuffing of Love
When it comes to preparing Herb Browned Butter Stuffing of Love I can’t think of a recipe that makes me happier! I know that’s a bold statement for someone who spends hours and hours in the kitchen. However, of all the food groups (and yes stuffing is a food group), stuffing is the one! It evokes emotion. Warm and fuzzy emotion!

Crawfish Étouffée & A Crawfish Boil
Crawfish Étouffée. When you have family from New Orleans come into town during Crawfish season, it can only mean one thing! We’re having a Crawfish Boil!! And what a glorious boil we had. But in the end, that 40 pound sack of crawfish was more than we could eat in one sitting and that’s how Crawfish Étouffée came to be.

Spring Thyme Green Minestrone
Spring Thyme Green Minestrone Soup. When I looked into the eyes of my beautiful new fridge I saw shelves and drawers overflowing with ingredients that begged for a chance to play nicely together. The result of nonstop cooking for a week straight. Have you seen our March Meatball Madness posts??! When I studied the contents it became blatantly obvious that my fridge and my well-being needed a big pot of soup!

Vegetarian Black Bean Chili
Vegetarian Black Bean Chili begins like many of our soup and chili recipes….with a medley of carrots, onions and celery. But that’s just the beginning of this flavor journey.

Farmers Market Minestrone Soup {Share the Love}
The next time you visit your local Farmers Market have this recipe in the back of your mind. In fact if you arrive near the close of the market, which means the ‘prettiest’ veggies will have been picked over, you’ll often find farmers willing to let their remaining produce go at a reduced price. Perfect for making a giant batch of Farmers Market Minestrone Soup which allows you to {Share the Love}.

Cream of Tomato Soup {with Basil Pesto & Mozzarella Dunkers}
All my favorite soups begin the same way….with a classic Mirepoix (onion, carrot and celery). For our Cream of Tomato Soup, the mirepoix is primarily a flavor enhancer. In the end it’s pureed, but I couldn’t help but leave some texture in our creamy bowl of comfort.

Kung Pao Chicken Soup
I took a popular Chinese Take-Out dish and turned it into a healthy make at home meal. Our Kung Pao Chicken Soup is not sodium or MSG laden. Instead it’s packed with fresh aromatic ingredients and some classic Asian flavors.

Chili Gumbo
I took yesterday off from work to cook. That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven. I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat. In fact, everyone either loves to eat or loves to cook (or both). Which makes for some great special occasion spreads. Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a giant pot of Chili Gumbo and a platter of Mardi Gras Wings. It was a good day.

Beef Bourguignon
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. This year’s Christmas Eve Prime Rib was as good as any we’ve had in the past.

Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs
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.
