Guacamole Deviled Eggs {with Crispy Bacon}
Guacamole Deviled Eggs with Crispy Bacon. One week to go before we complete our first year of ‘food blogging.’ A term I hesitated to use for most of this year. On one hand it was hard to put myself in that category, with so many very talented writers, recipe creators, and photography wizards. And on the other hand, I had always thought of a blog as a personal diary of sorts, something I couldn’t envision Lemony Thyme becoming last June. However, as time progressed I began to open up a bit. A simple reference from a friend or family member about something I wrote in a post, felt good. It made me…

Fresh Veggie Nachos {Sundays with Shelby}
Fresh Veggie Nachos {Gluten Free}. I love my kid. I know. We all do (love our kids that is). But I’m at that really great place you get to, when your ‘kid’ isn’t that much of a kid any more and becomes that cool friend you want to hang out with. For our most recent Sundays with Shelby outing, we went to R. Thomas Deluxe Grill.

Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower {with Mint Chutney}
Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower with Mint Chutney. I realize this recipe is not for everyone. Someone in my house was a bit skeptical himself. Having said that, if you’ll follow this picture montage to the end, you’ll see what a whole roasted tandoori cauliflower looks like, only 17 minutes after it comes out of the oven. And I didn’t work alone.

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Two ingredients, so much flavor. Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. Two things you can generally find in our freezer are bacon and shrimp. Bacon because we use it to add flavor to many dishes, but don’t often eat it as…well bacon. We keep frozen shrimp on hand for easy week night meals or in case we’re invited to an impromptu gathering and need a quick & tasty appetizer. Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is just that. We’re open to invitations.

Baked Summer Squash Chips
Have you ever made Baked Summer Squash Chips? Last July when summer squash was in abundance at the Farmers’ Market, I couldn’t help but bring home my fair share after every visit.

BLT Stack {with Fresh Herb Mayo}
BLT Stack {with Fresh Herb Mayo} The tomatoes are coming, the tomatoes are coming. Are you as ready as we are for some nice vine ripened heirloom tomatoes? They are such a wonderful treat no matter how you serve them. I decided to stack them up for fun and dress them with a little fresh herb mayo and crispy crumbled bacon.

Cool Ranch Jalapeño Poppers {just for fun}
We found the nicest bag of jalapeños at our wholesale club on Saturday and decided to try our hand at making Jalapeño Poppers. As we worked our way through the store we talked about how me might change them up. We could stuff them with sausage, kind of like Stuffed Poblano Peppers. I threw out a bacon wrap, but somehow doubling up on the pork….seemed wrong.

Deconstructed Shrimp & Grits {one small bite at a time}
Deconstructed Shrimp & Grits ~ One small bite at a time. I’m not sure where to begin with this one. I was fumbling around the kitchen one Saturday afternoon, clearly making no headway on dinner. An ensuing melt-down in the making (doesn’t happen often but apparently there are precursors). To head it off, I was given a challenge. “Forget dinner. You have one hour to create an appetizer, something you’ve never made before. Then we’ll decide about dinner.”
