We decided to host an Oktoberfest themed dinner and knew Creamy German Cucumber-Dill Salad would be on the menu.
The ingredients are simple yet the sour cream & fresh dill dressing brings a lovely full flavor to this chilled salad. This salad, also known as Gurkensalat is fresh and light and makes a perfect side dish.

My dear neighbor Pat gave me this recipe for How To Make a Giant Cinnamon Roll.
She thought of us when she saw it in a magazine and cut it out for me. It’s been laying on my desk patiently waiting.
The ingredients are quite basic, most well stocked pantries could handle. The instructions are straight forward, albeit there is yeast and resting/rising involved. However I’m certain most modest cooks could tackle this recipe.
Yet day after day, week after week, I avoided eye contact. What was it about this recipe that I was avoiding?

I knew Fresh Fig Crumble Bars would be a popular recipe!
Such a sweet way to incorporate my recent fresh fig score!
And boy are they delicious! The tender crumb is sweet and buttery and the jammy fig layer has a nice hint of lemon.

Homemade Ice Cream in a Ziploc Bag allows everyone to celebrate National Ice Cream Day! Get shaking!!
Our first attempt at making ice cream in a Ziploc bag was the night I discovered Thin Mints in the freezer. It was late. For some reason we decided we couldn’t have one without the other. The ice cream was a success.

Fresh Raspberry Purée or Raspberry Coulis is such a lovely way to add a finishing touch to a dessert.
Or elevate a bowl of ice cream.
Or swirl into a frozen cocktail.

This recipe yields 4 dozen Double Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins!!
Does anyone else buy boxes of “Little Bites” muffins for their kids (big or small)??
I can’t believe I’m admitting it – not because I’m a packaged food snob, but because muffins are so darn easy to make at home!

This Peach Mojito {with Ginger Simple Syrup} is the 7th Mojito recipe on Lemony Thyme and might be my new favorite.
Nothing sings summer quite like fresh juicy peaches. Pairing the sweet peaches with ginger simple syrup introduces a lovely depth of flavor you’ll really enjoy.
I LOVE Mojitos!!
