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 was walking with a friend last week and out of the blue… ‘stuffed artichokes’ to which I emphatically replied ‘yes’ love them. Then I couldn’t get them off my mind. Are you an artichoke fan? Steamed, then pull their lushes pedals off one by one and dunk them in butter or better yet a mayo/mustard dip?? Are you with me? Continue reading »

We have a wonderful Used Book Store in town. It’s in an old home, so imagine each section in it’s own little room, most complete with quiet reading areas. On the day I discovered this Roasted Garlic Bread Soup recipe, Shelby and I went in opposite directions. If I recall she was looking for books on the Dalai Lama and I was in cookbook heaven.

I wanted to deliver comfort. The kind of comfort that if only for a meal would help ease the weight of the day. Our most popular recipe on Lemony Thyme is our Salisbury Steak. Anytime I share it the response is overwhelmingly positive. Today I’m sharing that recipe except in the form of Salisbury Steak Meatballs {with Mushroom Gravy}. Continue reading »

We’ve made this dish so often that frankly I’ve taken for granted how good it is. Now that school is back in session the talk around the office has changed from backyard BBQ’s and poolside picnics to family friendly weeknight meals. These Turkey Meatballs with Mushroom Gravy are simple and delicious. Continue reading »

This has been my Summer of Jam. In years past I had avoided making jams and jellies simply due to my lack of understanding of the canning process. However, once I discovered how easy it was to make skillet jams the creative juices began to flow. Strawberry Jalapeno and Peach Jalapeno Skillet Jams gave me the confidence to take on Tomato Bacon Jam. Continue reading »

For the past few days I have been pondering what to make for Sunday dinner. On Friday we declared it would be Seafood Lasagna. As I prepared to head to the grocery store on Sunday morning, there was an abrupt change of plans. “You know what, pick up a Ribeye for dinner. That would be a lot easier than the lasagna.” As you wish. Hmmp. Since when has easy been my reason for cooking? I surprised them with Seafood Lasagna Roll-Ups as an appetizer. Continue reading »
