Some of my blogging friends and I joined together to “Celebrate Green and Welcome Spring.” We shared dishes featuring naturally green ingredients.

I know for many families Friday is Pizza Night. At our house we’ve been toasting the end of the work week with a cold beverage and a tray of Nachos. Last Friday we made a big pan of roasted corn & poblano nachos with sausage and queso fresco. They were amazing. Tonight it’s Monterey Loaded Nacho Fries, inspired by our crazy good Monterey Chicken recipe.

Baked Potato {with Tomatoes, Basil Pesto & Fresh Mozzarella}.
Fresh Basil Pesto might as well be classified as butter. Because when you spoon it onto a piping hot potato, it melts into amazing. Now add fresh diced tomato and shredded mozzarella. This might just be as good to me as say Pizza Margherita with a Perfectly Baked Potato crust. Continue reading »

This Classic Loaded Baked Potato. Popularized as a traditional side dish served with a nice juicy steak dinner. Any respectable steak house has worked nearly as hard to perfect the baked potato as they have say a Cowboy Cut Bone-In Rib Eye. Continue reading »

Breakfast Taquitos.
It was high time for a new breakfast addition to the pages of Lemony Thyme. It is after all my favorite meal of the day. Eggs might be the one ingredient I couldn’t envision “giving up” (“live without” seems rather extreme….but it would be difficult).

It’s really hard to top a nice big bowl of Classic Beef Stew. Slow braised pieces of beef and root vegetables, cooked in a rich beef broth until tender. Served in big bowls with crusty bread.
I’m not sure there’s much more to say about that. I’ll let the pictures speak to you. Take your time, I’m in no hurry. When you’re ready, our recipe method is below.

Moussaka. The best Moussaka I’ve ever had was in ‘a diner.’ The kind of diner you find in CT or NY, that are open all night, where you can order fried eggs, t-bone steaks, pancakes, cocktails, Moussaka (or hundreds of other dishes)…any time of day.
