Corned Beef Hash with Poached Eggs. Designed for breakfast, hearty enough for dinner, and really great leftover.

Did I tell you the story of how we scored 30+ pounds of bacon and sausage?? Can you imagine the delight when this text message hit my phone. Continue reading »

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.

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. Continue reading »

We affectionately call these “Pepins.” Jacques Pepin has shared many wonderful recipes with the world, but these potatoes were a gift to us all. Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes braised in buttery chicken broth, then gently ‘smashed’ and allowed to caramelize in the pan. Continue reading »
