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. Continue reading »

Flash backwards to January, NFL Playoffs were underway and I was itching to host a Super Bowl Party. I decided to make this Taco Salad with Doritos recipe, in honor of my favorite Super Bowl Commercials, and share it on Lemony Thyme the week before the Big Game. That was the plan. Right up until our home team, the Falcons, got beat in the last round. Continue reading »

Southwest Skillet Corn.
Come on fresh corn. I love you so.
It really doesn’t matter to me how corn is prepared because I can’t think of a way I don’t love it.

Fresh Veggie Pancakes with Tomato Salad.
Today is the day I must use up the remains of this weekend’s produce run. I am guilty of over buying (yes dear I am admitting it) and also of over eating (claiming that one too…..boy feels good to get that out). However, I also think I’m pretty darn good at whipping up a dish from what’s left in the fridge that needs to be eaten by tomorrow. Continue reading »

I could not wait to get home to my farmers’ market bounty last night. Most excited about using zephyr squash for the first time and decided on this salad after visiting the sites of Zephyr Farms & The Kitchn. I simply cut the squash into ribbons and then steamed it until just tender…it still had a nice crunch to it. Continue reading »
