Let me talk quickly. We are currently experiencing unseasonably cold temps with wind gusts in the….well below our comfort level. My computer has been off and on again with power outages and server issues.
Carrot Cake Breakfast Bread served with hot comforting coffee makes ‘unseasonably’ seem novel. Continue reading »

Char Sui is Chinese BBQ Pork. Don’t let the word BBQ fool you. This isn’t your typical southern pulled pork BBQ (albeit we love that). No, the flavors and cooking method for Char Sui is quite different. And the results…phenomenal. Juicy, melt-in-your-mouth pork infused with a sweet & sticky marinade. Let us not pass over what makes Char Sui dreamy good. Crispy. Pork Fat. Rules!!

I sent Shelby an innocent birthday text (back on May 28th). It went something like this….what’s your favorite kind of cake? She threw me for a loop with her response. Continue reading »

I made Welcome Home Muffins for my dear friend and co-worker Sabina. She has arrived home after having been overseas caring for her mom. I’m not sure there is anything more personal than caring for a parent. We lovingly follow in their footsteps until it’s time to venture out on our own. Then we look over our shoulder for their approval as we find our way. Often the road leads us back home. Continue reading »

Growing up, this was the quintessential coffee cake in our home. We lived in blueberry country. Early on my grandfather Boppy grew the most gorgeous cultured blueberries. They were so sweet and big and juicy. Later we relied on wild blueberries which bordered tree lines and paths throughout our property. While it took a bit longer to fill our baskets, the reward was well worth it. The reward…was my sister Sarah making this heavenly Blueberry Coffee Cake. Continue reading »

When making Healthy Choices, one of the first things I add to our weekly dinner rotation is Jenny-O All Natural Turkey Tenderloins. This versatile white meat is actually slightly lower in fat and calories than boneless skinless chicken breasts. And their mild flavor lends itself to recipe creativity. Like this flavor packed colorful Moroccan Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin. Continue reading »

I was introduced to energy bites recently and fell in love. The idea of raw whole ingredients being combined into delicious pop-in-your-mouth treats is well just down right exciting. There is certainly a growing movement towards stepping away from processed foods and incorporating whole foods into our diets. Snack foods is a great place to start. Continue reading »

Plum Pork Tenderloin.
More and more I hear friends and coworkers grumbling about deciding ‘What’s for Dinner.’ It seems to stem mostly from lack of time to prepare and/or lack of inspiration. On occasion Lemony Thyme finds herself in a similar predicament. That’s exactly what sent me to Cooking Light in search of slow cooker recipes, where I found this Plum Pork Tenderloin recipe.

I delivered Praline Banana Nut Muffins to my office yesterday morning. It’s how I {Share the Love} with 35 of my favorite people. Here’s how they show me the love. To quote a co-worker “I felt like I was eating a muffin from some gourmet bakery when I had yours. It was AMAZING!!! Totally worth the sweet cheat. Thank you for sharing!!!” Now that motivates me and makes me smile. Continue reading »
