    One Pot Homemade Beefaroni

    October 7, 2015 / 4 Comments

    Perhaps the dish I remember most from my childhood is Beefaroni.  Not the canned type, but Homemade Beefaroni, that I think we had every week.  It’s affordable, easy to prepare, family friendly, and so delicious.  For that reason I consider this a comfort food recipe.

    Salisbury Steak Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}

    September 28, 2015 / 5 Comments

    Salisbury Steak Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}. I wanted to deliver comfort.  The kind of comfort that if only for a meal would help ease the weight of the day.  Our most popular recipe on Lemony Thyme is our Salisbury Steak.  Anytime I share it the response is overwhelmingly positive.  Today I’m sharing that recipe except in the form of Salisbury Steak Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}.

    Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip

    September 5, 2015 / 3 Comments

    There’s something about watching football while raking a chip through hot cheesy dip.  It just feels good.  I hadn’t planned on making, picturing and sharing this recipe today, but it’s Game Day and we deserve it.  You and me.  Cheesy Beef Enchilada Dip is soooo easy.  Five ingredients and 15 minutes is all you need.

    Chili Gumbo

    February 17, 2015 / 3 Comments

    I took yesterday off from work to cook.  That was the sole purpose of my day and I was in heaven.  I’ve shared often that my work family loves to eat.  In fact, everyone either loves to eat or loves to cook (or both).  Which makes for some great special occasion spreads.  Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a giant pot of Chili Gumbo and a platter of Mardi Gras Wings.  It was a good day.

    Our Best Chili Yet

    December 7, 2014 / 4 Comments

    I’ve just spent 30 minutes debating about what to call this latest Chili Masterpiece.  Something in me strongly protests anytime I want to use the words ‘Greatest’ or ‘The Best’ in a recipe title.  It’s very literal.

    There was no way on earth I intended to make a Fritos Casserole, never mind admit that I did and share it.  It just happened.  And it was good and tasty and our Facebook friends asked for the recipe.  Which I made up as we went along.  But here it is.

    It was this Kicked Up Albóndiga Soup recipe from Hispanic Kitchen that first grabbed my attention.  I knew instantly it would be a hit at our house when I read the recipe.  We are on an undeniable meatball kick.  I’m not sure what’s gotten into us, but it’s full out meatball mania around here.

    Italian Bean Soup with Mini-Meatballs {Pasta e fagioli inspired}

    February 17, 2014 / 6 Comments

    Italian Bean Soup with Mini-Meatballs.  I intentionally did not call this a recipe for Pasta e fagioli, although it was clearly my inspiration.  Pasta e fagioli is traditionally a meatless dish, comprised of pasta and beans in a tomato base.  When I did my standard recipe research I had a hard time avoiding the bazillion copycat recipes for Olive Garden’s Pasta e fagioli.   We may be the only family I know who has not had a bowl of Olive Garden’s Pasta e fagioli.  I’m sure it’s delicious but I chose not to compete with the masses.

    I will admit that I whipped up this Beef & Bean Chili for the sole purpose of picturing it….on a Baked Potato.  That’s right.  I’m about ready to share a big potato round-up I’ve been working on.  Stay tuned…

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.
