Creamy Mashed Potato Casserole gets a little flavor love with the addition of sour cream and cream cheese.
This recipe is the perfect make ahead side dish that can be reheated in the oven or the microwave.
These creamy potatoes are fluffy with a nice buttery flavor.
Perfect if you ask me!

If you want to deliver comfort, bring them The Best Three Cheese Mac ‘n’ Cheese. It works every time!
Super cheesy, ultra creamy, with a little something special to make them go hmmmm.

Am I the last person standing who (before today) hadn’t tried Whipped Coffee??
Arguably, this may be the hottest trend to come out of covid cooking.
While everyone’s favorite coffee shops were struggling through the early months of the pandemic, caffeine enthusiasts took it upon themselves to whip up these easy-on-the-eyes frothy beverages.
I personally have been mesmerized by gorgeous Instagram photos of this coffee concoction for months.

Rustic Potato Chowder with Bacon. After one bite I knew we would have to recreate it for Lemony Thyme. It’s hearty enough to enjoy as a meal and easy enough to become a weeknight favorite.
I was just having a conversation with a friend about how bacon makes everything better. I’ve shared before that we keep our bacon in the freezer. That way we always have some on hand and it’s easy to cut into pieces that cook quickly. Bacon adds wonderful flavor to this chowder, but feel free to omit for a vegetarian version. Leftover cooked new potatoes also contributed to the minimal effort required.

I’m as surprised as anyone at how easy it is to make Homemade English Muffins.
All while your family sleeps.
I had a grin on my face a mile wide when my family came downstairs this morning. Care for an English Muffin?
I made these. Hee hee.

As I stepped out of my car I was greeted by the smell of bacon cooking. I walked through the door and found a sack full of fresh from the garden potatoes on the counter. Loaded Potato Soup was about to be born.

Growing up, this was the quintessential coffee cake in our home. We lived in blueberry country. Early on my grandfather Boppy grew the most gorgeous cultured blueberries. They were so sweet and big and juicy. Later we relied on wild blueberries which bordered tree lines and paths throughout our property. While it took a bit longer to fill our baskets, the reward was well worth it. The reward…was my sister Sarah making this heavenly Blueberry Coffee Cake.
