Scotch Eggs {with Sriracha Mayo}
If I can deliver you Scotch Eggs but with a soft-boiled center are you in? Hell, yes!! was the response. So I got up early that day, did suitable research and enthusiastically jumped into this recipe.

Thai Seafood Chowder
Mussels simmered in white wine, garlic and butter, in my opinion, rank right up there with Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. So why would I mess with an absolutely delicious recipe? Rhetorical. Because Thai Seafood Chowder not only sounds like winning, but the addition of coconut milk, red curry paste and Serrano peppers took comfort to a new level.

Happy 3rd Anniversary Lemony Thyme
Three years ago today I ‘published’ my first post to Lemony Thyme. Eggs Benedict ~ Two Ways. Year one was a blur, year two was a bit more controlled, year three was very different. It took the first two years for me to find balance. My scales were tipping in the wrong direction. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from year three, then we’ll talk about the scale.

Rosemary Ham & Swiss Savory Bread Pudding
My kid. I love her completely. Her hugs. Listening skills. Eye contact. Thirst for knowledge. Hugs. Witt. Sense of adventure. Genuine interest in what you’re saying. Having said that, there is an I want this now and my listening skills have gone out the window at this moment, because I want this now quality about her that I admire. Go get it girl. Which is exactly what she did last week. I’ll tell you more about that, after I introduce our newest savory dish. I made a bit of heaven. Rosemary Ham & Swiss Savory Bread Pudding…inspired by a Sunday’s with Shelby outing (which on occasion happens on a Saturday).

Lightened Up Shrimp & Grits
Came through the door last Friday evening (mind you…my most favorite evening to transition from work…to my garage…to the kitchen…is Friday). You know the feeling. What a Feeling!! Flash-Dance mode. Sorry. Not sorry. So I’ve made us a Lightened Up Shrimp & Grits.

Steamed Veggie Ramen Broth Bowl {with Fried Egg}
I enjoyed a lovely lunch date with Shelby and her roommate Clare. It was a post-birthday (for Shelby), pre-move in to a new cool place (for Shelby & Clare)…kind of celebration. Shelby chose a VERY popular restaurant called Buttermilk Kitchen. However, our hunger level and their wait time didn’t mesh so well. So we bailed and opted for Noodles. This recipe post is a recreation of the fresh & delicious Steamed Veggie Ramen Broth Bowl {with Fried Egg} I ordered.

Seared Ahi Tuna with Thai Risotto
I’m not sure how it happened. Ahi Tuna on sale for $6.99 a pound. Text message…go there. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 dollars…just bring home Tuna. I have to say, I was a bit skeptical. This was not Sushi grade tuna, for which we will pay up for. But it was fresh and thick and begging for a swim in marinade. Seared Ahi Tuna {with Thai Risotto}.

Chocolate Truffle Torte {with Macadamia Crust}
May 28th is my darling Shelby’s birthday. Twenty-four years ago today I became a mom. THE most important job title I will ever hold. Last year on this day I made her a Chocolate Truffle Torte, with the intention of sharing it with you that evening. Instead, we soaked in every ounce of our most amazing daughter and this recipe slowly moved into the unpublished archives.

Chopped Italian Submarine Salad
By the summer of sixth grade I was old enough to head off on my bicycle in the morning, with one stipulation, be home before dark. Most days for lunch I split an Italian Grinder with my BFF before heading to the lake. This Chopped Italian Submarine Salad has all those familiar wonderful flavors.

Submarine Dressing
For me, it’s the Submarine Dressing that kicks up all those Italian meats and cheeses as they nestle into crusty Italian sub rolls. I’m a huge fan of Italian Grinders aka Italian Submarine Sandwiches.
