    Loaded Baked Potato Tots Recipe

    August 18, 2021 / No Comments

    There’s quite the story that goes with this Loaded Baked Potato Tots Recipe. Last week I shared what would be the first recipe in a new series called College Cooking. My 21 year old bonus-son and his roommates requested some recipe inspiration.

    French Onion Dip is a Game Day Staple

    February 6, 2021 / No Comments

    There was a time when French Onion Dip was the go-to staple for Game Day or family gatherings. A packet of onion soup mix, a tub of sour cream, and a big bag of ruffled potato chips and we were in dip heaven. Just think how far the dip world has come, evolved if you will.

    Chicken Kiev {with Fresh Herbs & Garlic}

    March 15, 2015 / 21 Comments

    I looked out the back door at my fresh herb porch pots, expecting to see various shades of brown with brittle textures.  Yet instead I saw a burst of spring-thyme green.  Chives.  How on earth did this soft herb survive the unseasonably icy and cold winter?  It’s a mystery.  And a sign.  Make Chicken Kiev.

    Parmesan & Herb Savory French Toast {with Balsamic Onion Jam}

    September 28, 2014 / 7 Comments

    Parmesan & Herb Savory French Toast {with Balsamic Onion Jam} is just one more reason I’m addicted to breakfast foods.  Fresh herb flavors with a bit of nutty parmesan went so well with the slightly sweet onion jam.  Let fresh herbs elevate the flavors in your dishes while you take full credit for the results.

    Have I got a fun little appetizer for you.  Envision bite-sized baked potatoes loaded with sour cream, chives, cheddar cheese and bacon.  Pop-in-your-mouth Loaded Potato Bite goodness.  New potatoes are popping up at our local Farmers’ Market.  I remembered one of my sister Sarah’s recipes and ran with it.

    Homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

    May 22, 2014 / 6 Comments

    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.

    This Classic Loaded Baked Potato.  Popularized as a traditional side dish served with a nice juicy steak dinner.  Any respectable steak house has worked nearly as hard to perfect the baked potato as they have say a Cowboy Cut Bone-In Rib Eye.

About Libby

Hi, I'm Libby and welcome to Lemony Thyme. I hope you'll enjoy this collection of recipes, eating experiences, and food photography. My cooking abilities rose to a new level when I started incorporating fresh herbs. I began to understand the term ‘layers of flavor’ and found myself deconstructing dishes with my tongue to identify each ingredient.
