    Feast of the Seven Fishes {Christmas Eve Tradition}

    December 24, 2014 / No Comments

    Several years ago I got a hankering to attempt the Feast of the Seven Fishes for our Christmas Eve dinner.  I carefully selected recipes, ordered specialty items ahead from our local seafood market, and rewrote my plan of attack dozens of times before the big day arrived.  I envisioned this becoming our new Christmas Eve traditional dinner and oh how that excited me.

    Thai Green Curry Baked Cod

    April 1, 2014 / No Comments

    We recently attended a wedding where we were treated to a most spectacular buffet of Thai food.  The appetizer spread alone captivated our attention without end (check out my collage below).  And when the dinner dishes were set out we approached them with the same enthusiasm.  That’s fancy talk for multiple trips through the buffet line.  While I was oh so happy with everything served, the Green Curry was still lingering in my mind three weeks later.

    Parmesan Crusted Homemade Fish Sticks

    August 16, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Parmesan Crusted Homemade Fish Sticks I grew up in a very small New England town in southern New Hampshire.  There was a large Catholic population which meant every Friday night was fish night in most households.  And while some of my friends grumbled, I begged to be invited for dinner in hopes they’d be serving fish sticks and French fries.  Loved them.  Please tell me I’m not alone on this one.

    Crisp Cod Cakes {with Peach Basil Relish}

    June 22, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Crisp Cod Cakes with Peach Basil Relish. I had a moment yesterday.  A really big moment.  I was on my way to work via McDonald’s drive-thru when my phone rang.  The voice on the other end said “Lib, I’ve got to do something.”  I pulled my car into a parking lot and sat and listened.  She proceeded to share a conversation she had with her 7 year-old daughter that morning…a conversation that brought us both to tears.

    Fish Chowder served in Bread Bowls. <—- click here for Bread Bowl recipe. I approached the seafood counter at Whole Foods without a plan.  Which is often how it goes.  I’m looking for the fish to speak to me.  Someone to stand out in the crowd.  On this day, the cod did more than speak….they sang to me.

    Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}

    May 31, 2013 / 2 Comments

    Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}. The day started with a ‘fresh as can be’ 1 1/2 lb. cod fillet.  No plan for it, just a piece of fish too good to pass up.  What I was craving, quickly became my motivation for making this dish.  What I was craving, would be made from the leftovers.  I set out on a mission to find the right recipe, that the next day, would beg to be turned into…Fish Chowder.  This brilliant non-plan to accommodate my craving, almost went very wrong.

    Baked Cod with Montpellier Butter

    October 22, 2012 / 5 Comments

    Cod is a wonderfully mild white flaky fish.  It’s happy seasoned with anything from fresh herbs to punchy marinades.  It’s beautiful baked or grilled and when leftover it begs to be the star in a batch of fish chowder.  After recently learning about freezing fresh herbs in butter or olive oil, I began to do a little compound butter research and decided Montpellier Butter would be the perfect pairing with our baked cod.

    Thai Red Curry Paste is becoming a go-to ingredient for me.  It seems to find it’s way into Salmon Burgers, Meatloaf, Soups, and certainly Curry dishes.  It’s a wonderful flavor…not too hot, just uniquely red curry.

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.
