For the most part, our pantry staples are pretty common. We keep canned tomatoes and beans, dried pasta, boxed broths, baking supplies, etc. However there are a couple of other unique items I like to keep on hand just in case.
Just in case a recipe for Greek Chicken & Eggplant Stew crosses my path. Continue reading »

Farmers Market Roasted Veggie Lasagna. I hope the picture above does this dish justice. It was amazing. I’m not one to go crazy with personal horn tooting but this was a huge success. I have shared it with 13 people as of noontime today. The responses were unanimous. “Oh my.” “Can I have one more bite.” “Yum!” “Is this recipe on Lemony Thyme?” Continue reading »

Eggplant Parmesan Stacks.
I won’t pretend this is anything more than an attempt to sneak another Eggplant Parmesan recipe onto the pages of Lemony Thyme. I want us to have options after all. And they are kind of fun all stacked up and pretty. Continue reading »

Moussaka. The best Moussaka I’ve ever had was in ‘a diner.’ The kind of diner you find in CT or NY, that are open all night, where you can order fried eggs, t-bone steaks, pancakes, cocktails, Moussaka (or hundreds of other dishes)…any time of day. Every time I visit my sister we have at least one meal at a diner, doesn’t matter which one because they’re all good, and most often I order Moussaka. Continue reading »

Eggplant was the abundant ‘on sale’ item in the fridge today. I had bought two varieties at the Farmers’ Market but had yet to come up with a plan.
While fresh picked eggplant is one of the most beautiful fruits of the garden, once cooked….is not always as good looking. I did a quick Internet search for ‘pretty images’ of eggplant recipes and came across several for Baba Ghanoush. I’d heard of it, maybe even enjoyed it in a restaurant, but certainly had not made it from scratch. I decided to try the recipe by The Pioneer Woman and only adjusted it slightly to taste as she suggested. Continue reading »

Eggplant Parmesan is one of my most favorite Italian dishes, what’s not to love about something breaded, fried, and topped with melted cheese. It’s also super simple to make.

A few years ago I took on a new level of interest in cooking. I became a student of spices, learned which spices went best with which ingredients, and tested different combinations. During that particular Autumn season soups, stews, chilis, and sauces were transformed. Our kitchen was filled with amazing aromas and our favorite soup bowls filled with new fresh flavors.
