    Summer Thyme Sangria Will Ease You Right Into the Weekend!

    June 25, 2021 / No Comments

    Refreshing Summer Thyme Sangria will ease you right into the weekend. I mean shoes off, feet up, summer breeze blowing in your hair. Are you with me? This light and fruity sipper is gentle enough for brunch. It’s perfect to share with friends. Pretty enough for the front porch yet begs for the backyard! Use your favorite fruits of the season with a bottle of nice crispy white wine. Adding a few other flavor enhancers like vodka, simple syrup, and a sprig or two of lemony thyme (or your favorite fresh herb) add complexity.

    Rosemary Watermelon Juice {Share the Love}

    August 3, 2020 / 5 Comments

    Rosemary Watermelon Juice. As we head into summer and backyard BBQ’s, there’s a good chance we’ll find ourselves with half a watermelon taking up way too much space in the Frigidaire.  I did.  Water-melon.  Water.  Flavored water.  Do you see where I’m headed?

    Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad {with Orange Vinaigrette}

    June 15, 2020 / 16 Comments

    Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad with Orange Vinaigrette. Something special happens when the warm orange vinaigrette meets the sliced peaches and berries.  Something really special.  This wonderful Peach, Berry & Basil Fruit Salad is sweet and sexy enough to be served as dessert.  I say let ’em eat dessert for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    I wanted to make a grilled cheese sandwich using fresh strawberries, a hunk of brie, and fresh basil growing like crazy in our Aero-Garden.  I needed one more component to seal the meal :) As soon as I saw this recipe from Savory Simple I was hooked.  Strawberry Jalapeno Skillet Jam you are my shining star.

    Summer Thyme Sangria {with Watermelon & Rosemary} We recently attended a “Stock the Bar” Wedding Shower for the daughter of our good friends.  One of the libations being served was a beautiful batch of Sangria, loaded with fresh berries and fruits.  I eat (in this case drink) with my eyes first and that Sangria called me, by name.

    Red Velvet, White & Blueberry Dessert. If you’re looking for a dessert treat that’s easy to make and can feed a crowd, look no further. Red Velvet cake (let me share a secret, they sell it at your grocer’s bakery counter baked and unfrosted), vanilla ice cream, blueberries, raspberries, Cool Whip, and strawberries layered in red, white & blue fashion.

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.
