    Braai South African Spice Blend

    January 14, 2021 / 6 Comments

    Braai South African Spice Blend. Several years ago for Christmas, Shelby gave me a Flavors of the World subscription box. It was great fun each month to unpack and explore the contents. Each box was designated to a different region of the world. There were often teas, chocolates, and assorted snacks as well as regional ingredients with recipe cards.

    Homemade Taco Seasoning

    January 25, 2017 / 2 Comments

    Homemade Taco Seasoning uses six ingredients you’ll likely already have on hand. Making your own spice blends is easy and economical. What a great way to incorporate individual spices already in your cabinet.

    Salted Double Dark Chocolate Cookies

    December 3, 2015 / 3 Comments

    At a recent family reunion I discovered these luscious Salted Double Dark Chocolate Cookies.  They are rich, crispy on the edges yet soft on the inside, with a hint of sea salt.  Can you see that molten chunk of chocolate there?  It’s the ‘Double’ in this cookie’s name.

    Smoked Paprika Sweet Potato Chips {Share the Love}

    February 27, 2013 / 7 Comments

    I work with 33 unique and amazing individuals.  Today I shall recognize one of my more colorful teammates.  Her color is pink, her personality is sassy, her aura is diva, and her soul is as pure and kind as they come.  She’s beautiful inside and out.  And did I mention she’s married to the sweetest man, who happens to have a kick-butt smoker.  Last week she brought me a sampling of his Smoked Paprika.  As soon as I opened the bag and the sweet savory aroma rose into the air…I could envision one thing and one thing only…BBQ Potato Chips.  My absolute favorite…BBQ Potato Chips…were just a mandolin away from happening.

    December 20, 2012 / 3 Comments

    I may be a touch giddy today.  It’s 10:55 am on a Thursday and I’m writing this post in my pj’s, gazing into my living room where the tree is a twinkling, the fire is a blazing, the dog is a napping, the coffee is a brewing, and the rain is a pouring down.  And I’m about to make Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies Topped with Sea Salt.  Can you see me smiling out loud?

About Libby

Hi, I'm Libby and welcome to Lemony Thyme. I hope you'll enjoy this collection of recipes, eating experiences, and food photography. My cooking abilities rose to a new level when I started incorporating fresh herbs. I began to understand the term ‘layers of flavor’ and found myself deconstructing dishes with my tongue to identify each ingredient.
