    Mediterranean Grilled Cheese {Gluten Free}

    April 30, 2015 / 2 Comments

    Wrapping up a fabulous April, spent celebrating National Grilled Cheese Month.  Our Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich, layered with basil pesto, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, and cheese, was phenomenal.  All that goodness was sandwiched between two slices of fresh baked Jackalope Real Bread.  Let me tell you a bit about that.

    Bow Tie Chicken Salad {with Watercress Pesto}

    July 31, 2013 / No Comments

    Bow Tie Chicken Salad {with Watercress Pesto} Born out of the ingredients in our fridge/pantry, which inspired Watercress Pesto.  This cold salad was the perfect lunch two days in a row.  I’ve said before and I’ll say again, I think my best recipes happen when I stay out of the grocery store.

    Parmesan Pesto Grilled Tomato, Ham & Cheese Sandwich

    April 23, 2013 / 6 Comments

    Parmesan Pesto Grilled Tomato, Ham & Cheese Sandwich.  Thank you Deli Man. He asked me if I’d like some samples.  How did he know?  I told him I needed some ham, but not just any ham, something different.  He said (in a foreign accent, the tall, dark..kind) and I quote “have you tried the Boar’s Head Rosemary Ham.” Why no, I haven’t.  And my friends…The Rosemary Ham & Gruyere Cheese Sandwich {with Sundried Tomatoes} was born.  Stay with me, we’re getting to the Parmesan Pesto Grilled Tomato, Ham & Cheese Sandwich.  Soon.

    February 4, 2013 / No Comments

    Pappardelle pasta became a new favorite last winter.  It’s luxurious actually.  This Pappardelle & Peas with Ricotta Pesto recipe, adapted from my Weight Watchers cookbook, has just the right amount of richness while still being calorically friendly.

    I was debating whether or not to post this sandwich.  After all, it is only a sandwich. But after two days of making special trips home for lunch…because ALL I WANTED was to have only this sandwich….I think it’s worth sharing.  The Spinach & Avocado with Pesto Grilled Cheese is the bomb!!

    Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin

    September 22, 2012 / 3 Comments

    When I first made Sage-Pecan Pesto Encrusted Turkey Tenderloin and posted a picture in my What’s for Dinner album, I got immediate requests for the recipe.  I love pesto.  It’s so versatile and easy going.  Never complains when you substitute sage for basil, pecans for pine nuts, aged cheddar for Parmesan.  And turkey tenderloin is the perfect delivery vehicle (pork tenderloin would be delish too). So good and so moist!

    North African Lamb Kebabs {with Cilantro Mint Pesto}

    August 23, 2012 / 6 Comments

    North African Lamb Kebabs sounded so intriguing to me.  Traditionally we think of kebobs made up of ‘hunks’ of meat and/or vegetables.  These kebobs are made with ground lamb that’s blended with heavenly herbs and spices.  I came across a recipe in one of my cooking magazines and the ingredients list was right up our alley (and mostly on hand):  cumin, coriander, paprika, fresh cilantro, mint, oregano, ginger, garlic…..can’t you just smell it.

    Just a little appeteaser… Start with beautiful sea scallops, rinse and pat dry.  For these I lightly rolled the edges of the scallops in some sea salt and freshly cracked pepper.  Set aside while you make pesto.

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.
