Have I got a story for you! But first let me introduce Prosciutto Wrapped Mascarpone Stuffed Figs of Love!
Sweet delicious figs, filled with a spoon of creamy mascarpone, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of chopped pecans, all wrapped in prosciutto love.
It’s the savory, salty, sweet trifecta that pleases your palate!

When you combine bananas with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips what else can you call them but Chunky Monkey Muffins.
(thank you Ben & Jerry’s for that)
Be honest with me.
When you see {Gluten Free} is that a turn off?

Together you have salty, savory and sweet with a little crunch and texture in each bite. I adore each of the individual components of this salad.
Fresh tender spinach, shaved Brussels sprouts, toasted pecans, parmesan crisps, dried cranberries, and warm maple bacon dressing.

It’s Bacon Lovers Day!
I am unashamed of my love for bacon. It has and always will be a treat for my taste buds and the epitome of comfort food.
That’s before it’s oven roasted then slathered in Praline & Maple or drizzled with Sriracha Honey or submerged in Peach Bourbon Glaze or brushed with Rosemary & Black Pepper Honey. Candied Bacon is a meat-lover, sweets-lover dream come true!

Pumpkin, pumpkin everywhere. I had to jump in and join the party. Keeping it simple, by taking our most favorite Banana Bread recipe and replacing mashed bananas with pumpkin puree. The result is a Pumpkin Pecan Bread that is super moist, not too pumpkin-y, with subtle hints of cinnamon.

I struggled with what to call these heavenly bars. I kicked around a few ideas. Pretzel Toffee Bars. Chocolate Coconut Layered Love Bars. Magic Bars. Seven Layer Bars. Toothachers Met Their Match Bars. Truth be told…they are a casserole with a little bit of this and a little bit of that. A dessert casserole. I’m not sure anyone would click on a recipe called dessert casserole.

Let me talk quickly. We are currently experiencing unseasonably cold temps with wind gusts in the….well below our comfort level. My computer has been off and on again with power outages and server issues.
Carrot Cake Breakfast Bread served with hot comforting coffee makes ‘unseasonably’ seem novel.

This Strawberry Pecan Cake is a family recipe. One that has been passed down from generation to generation. Granny Cile, aka The Cake Lady, shared her cake craft with our community for many years. Whether it was baking for a church event or delivering her signature cakes to the parish hall for a family in need, Granny baked.

She requested a Hummingbird Cake.
It was about six months ago and it went something like this. Oh. My Word! You have GOT to make a Hummingbird Cake and share it on Lemony Thyme. And with me. Of course you have to share it with me.

I uttered the words “I have an abundance of blueberries” the other day and oh my word….you got on to me. I promise you not a single blueberry was left unturned or uneaten. The majority of them found their way into these awe-mazing Blueberry Pecan Crumble Bars.
Mercy.
