No-Bake Baklava Energy Bites
I was introduced to energy bites recently and fell in love. The idea of raw whole ingredients being combined into delicious pop-in-your-mouth treats is well just down right exciting. There is certainly a growing movement towards stepping away from processed foods and incorporating whole foods into our diets. Snack foods is a great place to start.

Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
Mushroom & Kale Quinoa Breakfast Bowl. It was 52 degrees in our bedroom this morning. Somehow opening a window ever so slightly seemed like a fine idea at bedtime. Brrrr. So while I lay snuggled deeply into my bed I did a mental inventory of the ingredients in my fridge and pantry. If there was one thing that would get me out from under the covers, it was breakfast.

Dark Chocolate & Walnut Biscotti {and Coffee on the Porch}
My motivation to make Dark Chocolate & Walnut Biscotti was pure and simple. It was my appreciation for the ‘good people’ out there. You know the ones. The folks that do the little things to make your day special, never looking for anything in return.

Breakfast Taquitos {with Bacon, Egg, Cheese & Home Fries}
Breakfast Taquitos. It was high time for a new breakfast addition to the pages of Lemony Thyme. It is after all my favorite meal of the day. Eggs might be the one ingredient I couldn’t envision “giving up” (“live without” seems rather extreme….but it would be difficult).

Feta & Vegetable Mini Frittatas
Feta & Vegetable Mini Frittatas. If you’re looking for a light but flavorful brunch option, these Feta & Vegetable Mini Frittatas are a great choice. We used eggs and egg whites to reduce the calories and such without sacrificing flavor.

Praline Banana Nut Muffins {Share the Love}
I delivered Praline Banana Nut Muffins to my office yesterday morning. It’s how I {Share the Love} with 35 of my favorite people. Here’s how they show me the love. To quote a co-worker “I felt like I was eating a muffin from some gourmet bakery when I had yours. It was AMAZING!!! Totally worth the sweet cheat. Thank you for sharing!!!” Now that motivates me and makes me smile.

Savory Parmesan & Herb Walnut Biscotti
We’ve been making a big pot of Farmers Market Minestrone Soup each week. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy fresh produce and gives us a healthy option for lunch or dinner throughout the week. Since we’ll be having soup for lunch today I decided to make these Savory Parmesan & Herb Walnut Biscotti to serve on the side.

Smoky Shrimp Diablo {with Baked Eggs}
Smoky Shrimp Diablo {with Baked Eggs}. We’re dabbling with some new recipes. Full of flavor and of course fresh herbs. I ran across a recipe for Baked Eggs in Smoky Tomato Sauce…which became the base for this fabulous recipe.

Happy Father’s Day & Eggs Benedict {from one year ago}
One year ago, on Father’s Day, I published my first post on Lemony Thyme. A website only I knew existed, I was writing to myself. It was scary intimidating at first. I had no real plan other than to bottle my creative passion in one neat and tidy place. A somewhat private place where family and friends might visit. That’s what I thought and hoped for a year ago.

Veggie Frittata {Breakfast Burrito or Quesadilla}
“We can sleep til we get up.” That’s what we love about Saturday mornings. We did at least until we got a puppy. Now we “sleep til Scrappy Thyme gets up.” So while I lay in bed this morning waiting for her to call to us, I was thinking about breakfast. And how I might use up the mother load of leftover fresh salad ingredients that had taken over my fridge. That’s when I decided to make a Veggie Frittata.
