Here in the sunny south we’ve been experiencing some big weather swings. Cold one day, hot the next. Seems that kind of shift leads you straight into flu and cold season. Yep, that’s right. About 1/3 of my work family is or has been sick. The only thing I could think to do was make soup. Mushroom Soup with Cheesy Portobello Croutons hit the spot. Continue reading »

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 »

Beef Bourguignon. Boeuf Bourguignon. Beef Burgundy. I think we grew up with this dish. No, not the first two. My Mom made beef burgundy often. The cuts of meat may have started out a bit tough requiring extra cooking love, but the end result was melt in your mouth wonderful. Continue reading »

I’m Libby with Lemony Thyme and the voice behind this blog, however my husband B is the outstanding cook who taught me the fundamentals. When I started this blog 2+ years ago, he was supportive yet cautious. I’ll tell you more about that but first I must introduce a B staple recipe, Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs. Fall off the bone beefy goodness. Continue reading »

Many years ago B and I went to Kansas City on a business trip. We were invited to dinner with a dear friend at one of the wonderful Steakhouses in town. We were told in advance that besides amazing steaks, this particular establishment was famous for their Steak Soup. Continue reading »

Today marks the 100th birthday of the witty and talented, Julia Child. She is being celebrated across many food sites today I’m sure. While I remember watching The French Chef on PBS and being captivated by Julia’s quirky voice and clear love of cooking, it wasn’t until I was reintroduced to her character in the hit movie Julie & Julia that I fell in love with her. I’m sure there are many forums that have addressed this movie’s effect on food blogging. It certainly captivated me….though I had no thought of writing about food at that time.
“We should enjoy food and have fun. It is one of the simplest and nicest pleasures in life.” ~ Julia Child.
