Never Enough Thyme — Recipes with a slight southern accent

Marinated Pork Loin

April 9, 2013

I hope the weather is as nice wherever you are as it is here today. Right now, it’s 80 degrees with a tiny little breeze. It makes me want to open all the windows and let the fresh air flood through the house. Unfortunately, along with 80 degrees comes an explosion of pollen. Our nightly [...]

Roasted Rack of Lamb

April 5, 2013

When I was growing up, lamb was something that we just didn’t eat. Nobody raised sheep and it was nowhere to be found in the grocery stores. I imagine that you would have had to go to a big city back then to buy fresh lamb. Of course, we had beef, pork, chicken, game, and [...]

Fresh Strawberry Pie with Chocolate Cookie Crust

April 1, 2013

BeeBop and I have had a busy week! Last week was A and Mag’s spring break and they spent it with us! That’s right…we had them all to ourselves for 10 whole days. Which is also why you haven’t seen me much online. Facebook, Twitter…all that stuff goes by the wayside when my babies are [...]

We’re busy as we can be around the Stuart house this week. The two most beautiful and intelligent grandchildren in the world are visiting us on their Spring Break! We’re having loads of fun, but we all wish the weather would cooperate a little better. Today, several days into official Spring time, it is in [...]

Potatoes au Gratin

March 22, 2013

Potatoes au Gratin. We’ve all had them. We’ve all cooked them. But still…Yum! Potatoes au Gratin is, in my opinion, one of the world’s great food pleasures. Potatoes cooked in cream laced with cheese and a bit of garlic. Oh, my, my, my. And once you know a basic potatoes au gratin recipe, you can [...]

Not Texas Chili

March 19, 2013

Well, it’s Spring in the South, y’all. 82 degrees Saturday afternoon. 40 this morning. Yep, it’s March when it’s summer in the sunshine and winter in the shade. We don’t know whether to light the grill or start a fire in the fireplace. We’re running the heat in the morning and air conditioning in the [...]

Classic Homemade Mayonnaise

March 15, 2013

You know, there are just certain basic tasks that all good cooks should know how to do. How to perfectly boil an egg. How to cut an onion. How to sharpen a knife. How to seed a tomato. I could go on and on. And there are basic recipes that we all should learn as [...]

Leek and Potato Soup

March 12, 2013

If you’ve been reading along for a while here on Never Enough Thyme, you’ve no doubt heard me talk about my Irish ancestors and about our trip to Ireland a few years ago. I wish that I had started this blog when we took that trip. However, that wouldn’t happen for another year yet, so [...]

Apple-Cranberry Crumble

March 8, 2013

This is the time of year that I start getting restless. I want Spring to get here so badly I can hardly stand it. Winter and I are not good friends. Winter makes me cold and uncomfortable. It makes my joints hurt and my brain dull and sluggish. But mostly it makes me miss all [...]

Apple Pecan Coffee Cake

March 5, 2013

I know it’s almost Spring and everyone is looking for recipes featuring lemons or asparagus or lamb…all those fabulous Springtime ingredients. But, just for today, I’ve decided that it’s still apple season. I mean, really, apples are available in my grocery store 365 days of the year so why relegate them to the Fall? Especially [...]

Fried Tomatoes with Cream Gravy

March 1, 2013

I have another old-style recipe for you today. And it’s one that you can serve any time of day. It’s just as good for breakfast and lunch as it is for supper. I especially enjoy this recipe during the winter when the only tomatoes you can find are hard as rocks and have little taste. [...]
