Mu Shu Chicken Cabbage Rolls.
Chinese New Year is always an ‘event’ for me.
My passion for this holiday stems from what used to be my day job, which was…importing door locks. Hold on, don’t run away so fast.

This Peach Mojito {with Ginger Simple Syrup} is the 7th Mojito recipe on Lemony Thyme and might be my new favorite.
Nothing sings summer quite like fresh juicy peaches. Pairing the sweet peaches with ginger simple syrup introduces a lovely depth of flavor you’ll really enjoy.
I LOVE Mojitos!!

I find extreme satisfaction from really bold flavors. Not only do they excite my taste buds but they wake up my senses. This punchy Jamaican Jerk Marinade will leave your tongue dissecting the layers of flavors. It’s spicy, slightly sweet, and over the top with aromatics.

Mussels simmered in white wine, garlic and butter, in my opinion, rank right up there with Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. So why would I mess with an absolutely delicious recipe? Rhetorical.
Because Thai Seafood Chowder not only sounds like winning, but the addition of coconut milk, red curry paste and Serrano peppers took comfort to a new level.

I’m not sure how it happened. Ahi Tuna on sale for $6.99 a pound. Text message…go there. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars…just bring home Tuna. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. This was not Sushi grade tuna, for which we will pay up for. But it was fresh and thick and begging for a swim in marinade.

I took a popular Chinese Take-Out dish and turned it into a healthy make at home meal. Our Kung Pao Chicken Soup is not sodium or MSG laden. Instead it’s packed with fresh aromatic ingredients and some classic Asian flavors.

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.
