Almost in unison, I heard Caprese Salad and Bread Salad. Just think what gorgeous children those two classics will make. That’s when the Caprese Panzanella love child was born. Continue reading »

Roasted Tomato & Mozzarella.
I have seen some wonderful recipes lately for slow roasting tomatoes, like this one by The Foodie Physician. By cooking them low and slow you get a rich tomato flavor. They then can be used in dishes as you would sundried tomatoes. Delicious. 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 »

Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich. We had to do it.
You know we’ve got basil growing faster than a speeding bullet. Add a ball of fresh mozzarella able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. And an Italian bread getting eaten faster than a locomotive…I must act quickly. Continue reading »
