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 »

Basil, crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, elbow macaroni, garlic, ground beef, mushrooms, onion, oregano

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. Continue reading »

Chicken Cacciatore {B is for Braising}

chicken broth, chicken thighs, garlic, onion, oregano, peppers, red wine, smoked paprika, tomatoes

I’ve been itching to make Chicken Cacciatore but sadly one key ingredient stood in the way. Green bell peppers and I just can’t seem to get along. Same goes for cucumbers. Two ingredients you’ll rarely see included in a recipe on Lemony Thyme. However, an Eat Out of the Fridge/Pantry produce drawer discovery changed everything. Continue reading »

I have been on a Marinara Sauce kick these past couple of weeks. I call it a kick because I’m still a bit shocked that we are becoming quite the homesteaders. Well no we didn’t grow these tomatoes, but we did roast them, turn them into sauce and freeze them for the winter. That’s a long way from opening up a jar of our favorite sauce. Continue reading »

My first experience with fondue was in the mid to late 70s while visiting New York City. Mom took us to a trendy new restaurant called The Melting Pot. Fondue was the hottest craze to hit the restaurant scene. We gleefully dipped breads, meats, and seafood into broths and cheeses. As a kid this might have been the coolest dining experience in my entire 12 year life. Continue reading »

It’s crazy to admit that this is the first time I have made a Greek Salad. I’ve loved every one I’ve ever enjoyed at a restaurant. For me it’s the combination of fresh ingredients with big bold flavor personalities, that somehow get along really well. No competitiveness here. I like it!! Continue reading »

I’m not sure when Boursin Spread became so popular, but as a child I can remember it being served with crackers and other nibbles in the 5 o’clock hour. What I don’t recall was if my mom made it herself or bought it. Flash forward 20 years and I’m certain my sister made it from scratch. She has always been creative and confident in the kitchen. I believe a bit of that has worn off on me. Continue reading »

cilantro, corn tortillas, eggs, onion, oregano, tomatoes, zucchini

While these aren’t near authentic Huevos Rancheros, they are a nice twist on those wonderful Mexican Ranch Eggs. I tossed onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper and then roasted them for about 20 minutes until the onions were tender and the tomatoes began to burst.
