We have a wonderful Used Book Store in town. It’s in an old home, so imagine each section in it’s own little room, most complete with quiet reading areas.

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. Continue reading »

Sausage & Potato Soup with Spinach & Bacon could be the cousin of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. That however, was not at all my motivation for making this new recipe. Did I tell you the story of how we scored 30+ pounds of bacon and sausage?? Can you imagine the delight when this text message hit my phone. Continue reading »

I’ve been itching to make Chicken Cacciatore but sadly one key ingredient stood in the way. Green bell peppers and I just can’t seem to get along. Same goes for cucumbers. Two ingredients you’ll rarely see included in a recipe on Lemony Thyme. However, an Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry produce drawer discovery changed everything. Continue reading »
