Southwest Salmon Salad Therapy. Right here.
There are those days, moments, situations when you just need to take your mind somewhere else. For me that typically means I’ll wind up in the kitchen. Slicing, fine dicing, fresh bright flavors and lots of beautiful bowls.

I lay in bed Sunday morning pretending to be asleep. There was a steady rain tapping on the window, the kind that lulls you to sleep. It was not my morning to get up with the dogs (yet if I were already awake when the first bark came would it seem only reasonable that I take them out, even though I did the day before). These are my words, we’re not really score keepers.
I justified my silent stillness by creating recipes in my mind. Savory Egg Stuffed Poblano Peppers nestled on a bed of enchilada sauced white beans. I did not take the dogs out. Continue reading »

Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl.
I went to Pet Smart during lunch to replenish Lilah’s food. Pet Smart is very close to Pier One. I was smack in the middle of Healthy Lunch Bowl Week. They sell really pretty bowls. Continue reading »

The other day I was digging through my recipe inspiration folder, the place I keep pages upon pages of notes, printed recipes, magazine pages and the like. What I found was a scrap piece of paper with these handwritten words Crab Stuffed Chile Rellenos. That night I made this fabulous dish. Continue reading »

I’ve been wanting to recreate my favorite Mexican Tamale Pie since about the moment I began sharing recipes on Lemony Thyme. Which also happens to be when I realized that the most important part of cooking isn’t the recipe, it’s the ingredients. Continue reading »

Hanging on to every fresh produce summer moment over here on Lemony Thyme. I’m calling this soup Roasted Veggie & White Bean Chowder because it has a creaminess about it and chowders are amazing. The beautiful thing is the creamy came from the white beans not cream or butter. That puts this soup squarely in our Healthy Choices category. Continue reading »

College Football Season is upon us. In fact, for our team it’s GAME DAY!! Since we’re a foodie family, Game Day is one more reason to create new dishes. Our inspiration comes from our opponents. Yes, we like to envision our rivals as a meal. For example if we’re playing the Arkansas Razorbacks….we might have a meal of Braised Pork. I’ve been warned that talking College Football is akin to discussing religion and politics. So instead we’ll focus on these Southwest Skillet Corn Fritters {with Avocado Ranch Dip}. We devoured them.
