    Restaurant-Style Salsa

    January 24, 2015 / No Comments

    Why have I waited so long to discover how easy AND inexpensive it is to make Restaurant-Style Salsa at home, by simply using your blender?! We love Fresh Tomato Salsa in the summer when the tomatoes are abundant and delicious.  But frankly, I’m not willing to pay for over-priced, not all that tasty, supermarket tomatoes during the winter months.  Instead we turn to our freezer where we’ve got Homemade Tomato Sauce and to our pantry where we always have canned tomatoes on hand.

    Chickpea & Spinach Stew

    December 1, 2014 / No Comments

    The holidays have a way of throwing us me off course.  No matter how hard I try, temptation is waiting at every turn.  This year is going to be different.  Yes, I will cave to some temptations, or better said…enjoy my favorite dishes in moderation.  Yet, what I won’t do is completely abandon my Healthy Choices plan only to start over on January 1st.  Nope, not gonna do it. This Chickpea & Spinach Stew, adapted from Weight Watchers, is going to keep me on track.

    Chicken Chilaquiles {with Fried Eggs}

    October 15, 2014 / 6 Comments

    Chicken Chilaquiles. Chee-lah-KEE-less. Chicken-ala-cheese-ness. There are about a bazillion corn tortillas in a package.  Have you noticed that?  No matter what recipe I make with them, inevitably I will have half a bazillion leftover.  That’s what led me to this classic Mexican dish.  Chilaquiles are traditionally made from corn tortillas that may have been hanging around for a bit…aka stale.

    We rarely have a loaf of bread on hand, except when it’s tomato season.  So for brunch today I went with a savory French Toast recipe that incorporated fresh herbs, tomatoes, and Indian spices.  Masala Egg Toast might be a new favorite.

    Tabouleh & Couscous Salad

    August 4, 2014 / 2 Comments

    I’m not sure why I’ve waited so long to make homemade Tabouleh.  It’s packed full of fresh herbs and aromatics, my absolute favorite way to enhance flavor.  Today, I introduced this dish to several friends, who I think now also share my love of this Middle Eastern salad.

    Herbed Scrambled Eggs {in Avocado Boats}

    June 1, 2014 / 2 Comments

    There was a cooking show on Food Network a while back that we really liked.  I can’t recall the name of it, but the host would always feature the ‘obedient ingredient.’  That’s exactly what I did this morning.  I bought a few too many avocados this week so I’m turning them into serving vessels.  Our Herbed Scrambled Eggs were quite happy in their avocado boats.

    Ceviche {with Halibut, Scallops & Shrimp}

    May 31, 2014 / 3 Comments

    We celebrated Shelby’s birthday last evening.  When I asked her what she’d like for dinner she said “one of your amazing Ribeye steaks.”  To which I gladly obliged.  I wanted to come up with a fun and light appetizer to start us off.  I remembered a time when Shelby and I met for lunch at a Mexican restaurant in town.  As soon as we sat down she said “you’ve got to try their Ceviche.”  I had no idea she shared my love for this chilled seafood salad.

    Loaded Egg Salad

    Loaded Egg Salad. Mom taught us how to make really good egg salad.  Finely chopped eggs, celery, scallion, mayonnaise, salt & pepper.  Nothing complicated just finely done.  That’s all I’ve ever wanted in an egg salad.  Until my birthday lunch out with Shelby.

    Looking for an easy appetizer to bring to a holiday party….Cowboy Caviar might just be the answer.  Cowboy Caviar is one of our most popular recipes.  It’s no wonder since you can whip up a batch from ingredients already in your fridge and pantry.

    Garlic & Herb Baked Salmon {over Spinach Couscous}

    May 6, 2014 / 2 Comments

    Garlic & Herb Baked Salmon over Spinach Couscous is a go-to staple meal in our house.   Or at least it used to be before we became a food blogging family.  We easily had this dish once a week and would have to force ourselves to occasionally change up the way we prepared salmon.

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.
