Before I talk about this wonderful Lemon Basil Shrimp & Pasta dish, I must confess I’ve been keeping something from you. I wasn’t sure when it would be the right time to tell you. So I waited until I was sure we were in the clear. It is with great pride and joy that I share the news.

We have babies. Hydroponic Herb Babies. And today was our first harvest, Basil. We used the most tender delicious basil leaves in this Lemon Basil Shrimp & Pasta recipe I found in Cooking Light. Continue reading »

I remember sitting outside at a patio table, sipping on a margarita, and soaking in the first glimpse of summer. It was twenty years ago and the name of the restaurant escapes me now but the Monterey Chicken does not. Continue reading »

Crab Rangoon Dip {with Wonton Chips}.

Crab Rangoon are such a favorite around here. We even make them from scratch from time to time. But that was before I served this dip to my family on Sunday and then again to my work family on Monday. I think we’ll be cutting corners (instead of individually folding and deep frying) and jump right to the good stuff from now on. It was a huge hit!! Continue reading »

I vowed to stay out of Publix for a week following the holidays. I called home as I entered the store to admit to my failures. The words on the other end were few. “Damn it Lib ;) Pick up a pork butt and I’ll forgive you.” 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). Continue reading »

Vietnamese Beef Pho.

Let me just say this about that. I don’t think I’ve ever delivered so much flavor with so little effort. When I got home from work I assembled everything I needed, put the broth and seasoning on to simmer, all in about 5 minutes. I did also pop our beef filet into the freezer, which later helped with getting a nice thin slice. Continue reading »

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 »
