Rhubarb when raw is so tough, And its leaves contain poisonous stuff,? But when cleaned and de-soiled,? Dipped in sugar and boiled,? Then the stalks are quite tasty enough. (A Rhubarb Limerick from The Rhubarb Compendium ) Rhubarb is available at the farmer’s markets now. Like a conjoined twin
I had all intentions of serving Teriyaki shrimp but my market had only previously frozen, non-local shrimp for sale so I bought a dozen scallops.What exactly was Teriyaki? Was it an American creation or an actual Japanese dish.The word teriyaki derives from the noun teri, which refers to a shine or luster given by the sugar content in the teri, and yaki, which refers to the cooking method of gril

And this goes out to Anita of Recipe with pictures......an interesting space filled with tested and tried recipes.This is a very light and spongy cake from Joy of Baking............. so well described in the video and the post as well.

Thank you to my blogging friend Angela who tagged me to play along with this fun blogging quiz, the alphabet edition. I was going to save this for a fun Friday post, but my past week has been hell.

Cooking at home is generally considered a great deal safer than eating out in restaurants and snack shops. At home, it is possible to plan meals that incorporate healthy ingredients and cooking styles, control the quality of the ingredients and maintain a healthy cooking environment. By following some very basic rules in the kitchen, it [...]

Lessons learnt from my mum always stays with me. My mum never let me waste food. She would make sure I finished every bit in my bowl. I was taught to take what I can eat only and leaving food and let it waste is totally unacceptable. She even scared me by saying if I leave a grain of rice in my bowl, I will marry a husband who have a face full of scars. LOL! Nowadays, c

I love being impromptu. Before kids, I used to be all the time. Some of my best memories are things that I planned or done last minute or without much thought. Eight years ago I was living in Upstate New York. I had a wild thought of moving to Florida. Within two months of that [...]The post Coconut Almond Rice Krispie Treats appeared first on Mother Thyme.
Introduction: Hovering over a cauldron of hot meat, somewhere in a poky flat in London, two students of chemistry fervently debate what they honestly believe to be the finer points of an Italian classic. No, no, one must dissolve the stock cube in 40 degree water before-hand…ah but my learned friend, one can just simply [...]
I have always loved granola and Swiss style muesli - they are the go to breakfast or even snack for me. Until some years back I would always have a box both in my pantry. Then I started making oats for breakfast and I came to love porridge with warmed milk, honey, and fruit. Cooked oats are especially great on cold winter mornings - hearty, filling, and so tasty. Summer however is a whole

We’re into the second half of June and if you’ve planted a garden this year, I’m guessing that you’re starting to see some zucchini plants blossom. Last year, my mom and I planted a raised bed and were a little overzealous with our plants. As a result, we were swimming in zucchini for much of [...]
Here’s a small glimpse into the last week: Lots of blue skies! I turned 28 on Monday and requested doughnuts. Woo hoo! Birthday foxgloves hand-picked by my husband. Two pounds of zucchini out of the garden! More coming daily! Craig’s mom brought over a few gorgeous locally made treats. This raspberry mousse cake was phenomenal. […]

Rhubarb Rhubarb is an interesting fruit or vegetable depending on where you are from. Here in New York State rhubarb was declared a fruit by court order in 1947 because tariffs were lower on fruits. New York State is weird that way, we have a similar legal declaration about tomatoes being a vegetable??? In England the first rhubarb of the season is harvest at night, supposely to pick them wh
When I was a little girl, one of the highlights to my summer vacation was the trip my mom and I made "back home" each July. For two weeks we would head east to Pennsylvania to spend some much needed quality time with my grandparents and uncle. And oh what a fun filled two weeks they were! One of our favorite things to do during that time was to load up the Winnebago and head to Pymatuning Sta

Yummy note: Peanut butter, oh how I love thee. It is kind of like a bad word though around my house, as my daughter has a nut allergy. Luckily it is not so severe, that we can still have peanut butter in our house, whew, I can still get my peanut butter fix. So when I saw this Peanut Butter Fudge recipe on my Secret Recipe Club friend's site this month, I had to try it. Fudge consistency is
I m always on the lookout for easy breakfast and dinner recipes. Often, these recipes also double up as a quick snack for us, especially on a Sunday. We are people who are not very fond of eating deep fried snacks my H loves a light snack, his favorites being a sandwich or this poha that i make very often. Its actually very surprising that i ve not posted the recipe s
Recently I was sent a lovely pack of chocolates to try thanks to Product Talk by Nuffnang. And these weren't just any chocolates but the new AntiOx Chocolate and Snack Bar range from Vitality Brands.As I've mentioned before we have been cutting out refined sugar which has meant chocolate has been mostly off-limits. So I was really interested to try the AntiOx range as not only is it 70% cocoa and
Fresh, light, and filling are words my husband used to describe one of our new favorite dinners. These tostadas are a great use of the "Shredded Mexican Chicken" from my previous post. Using fresh salsa, cilantro, avocado, and lime will take an ordinary tostada to an extraordinary tostada. This tostada is simple to make but it's not simple in flavors. Also, the oven is only on about 15 minutes aft

.post h3 {display:none !important;} Well, its finally here - my first international trip of the summer begins tomorrow. No, I'm not going anywhere near Asia, which is partially why I prepared Bibimbap for dinner.

For iPhone I have a new app for my iPad and I know that some of you who want to stay strong and healthy will thank me for telling you about it. The app’s name is Yoga Studio and you can download it from the I-Tunes store. It’s definitely my favorite yoga app. On the app, classes are arranged by preset classes (Studio Classes), and classes you create (My Classes). In the preset area, y
Hello Friends! Today's blog is all about celebration desserts. I happened upon a new cookbook at my local Sam's Club during a shopping excursion. I love purchasing seasonal cookbooks and magazines at Sam's because they are usually offered at 10-40% off of the usual price. This time around I purchased one titled "Taste of the South's Special Collector's Edition - S
Desiree which everyone affectionately calls Des, is a blogger over at SteakNPotatoesKinda Gurl. Gosh, there were so many things on her site I wanted to try. I eventually ended going with the Garlic Oven Fries. At this point you are probably wondering what the heck I am talking about. I was lucky enough to get her blog [...]
I was recently challenged to use Soy Sauce in a unique way by the Kikkoman people. They sent me three bottles of sauce . . . their regular Soy Sauce, their Teriyaki Sauce and the Low Salt Soy Sauce. I do admit I am a great fan of their sauces. I think their Soy Sauce is the best ever and I am being totally up front and honest when I say that. It's naturally bre
My children never met my dad, though I have tried to give them a picture of what he was like. My dad died when I was sixteen, though my time with him was much too short, he filled it with memories to carry me through the times of my life. I have fallen back on these memories to sustain and strengthen me and to smile tenderly at those simpler times in my life.This song is for you Daddy…
This past weekend… a major food bomb went off in my kitchen. A raw food bomb. A raw…brownie bomb. There were tubs of nuts, seeds, berries, bags of cacao, and all kinds of utensils – everywhere. It was a crazy … Continue reading →
Rain, rain, rain. Days and days of rain tend toward gloom. The roses rust and droop, and the newly planted vegetable starts refuse to grow beyond their 2 inch plugs. One day, the sun came out, and as I checked on my pots of herbs, a tiny slender baby snake slithered away. Of course I screeched, I always do:)I ended up grabbing a bundle of fresh asparagus at the last minute
Last June in Seattle was where I had my first taste of Copper River Salmon. I have my friend Angie to thank for that. She told me that it was just THAT GOOD and I needed to try it. When I saw it on the menu at the Four Seasons a day later I ordered [...]

Curry leaves chutney is prepared with fresh curry leaves, small onion and garlic. I have already posted curry leaves chutney with coconut and curry leaves garlic chutney. This is another version of curry leaves chutney without coconut and it came out very well.This chutney is a best combo for Idly and dosai. Ingredients: 1 cup – Fresh curry leaves (washed thoroughly) 1/4
Carrot Cake with White Chocolate Buttercream If you don't already know, I dislike raisins. I actually refuse to eat carrot cake just because of the raisins. I got some organic carrots and thought this was the perfect opportunity to make a carrot cake without the raisins. The special father's day touch? White chocolate butter cream instead of the traditional cream cheese frosting.
Last month for Secret Recipe Club I got Mangia! an Italian blog. I was so excited, any excuse to make Italian food is fine with me. Then I made Double Chocolate Almond Joy Pretzel cookies. So not Italian, but oh so delicious. For my assignment this month I got Cookin with Moxie, Jamie lives in [...]
Since we were having some pretty heavy food for dinner tonight (Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Mashed Potatoes with Gouda and Bacon), I decided to add a fresh and tangy salad on the side. Continue Reading →
Usually for Father's Day, we fire up the grill and make something tasty outside. The weather has been really wacky this year, though, so I decided to make one of our favorite Pulled Pork recipes. This time around, I used a new (to me) BBQ sauce from our go-to brand: Stubb's Hickory Bourbon BBQ Sauce. It was great!! Continue Reading →
For father's day I made my hubby this delicious chicken Marsala dish for dinner. This recipe is actually out of a cookbook I purchased 25 years ago titled Wine in Everyday Cooking by Patricia Ballard. It is a book about "cooking with wine for family and friends". Of course I did take liberties with the original recipe and changed a few things down through the years, but it is basically t
I was looking for a crowd-pleasing side dish for Father's Day dinner, and this looked like just the type of thing that would hit the spot. Bacon, smoked Gouda, sour cream, milk and butter make this nice and rich. I used some of the Crispy Oven-Baked Bacon that I made earlier today, and some of the purple scallions that I picked up at the Farmers Market yesterday. Continue Reading →
Ang Ku kueh is one of the popular Asian Snacks among the Chinese and Peranankan. Ang Ku kueh literally means Red Tortoise Cake. It is moulded to resemble a tortoise shell and is presented resting on a small piece of banana leaf. The Chinese traditionally believe that eating this 'Ang Ku Kueh' would bring longevity to those who are eating it and bring about good fortune and prosperity
First of all...Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there! For our dinner this evening, I made a mixed grill for dinner. We had grilled filet mignon and grilled chipotle lime shrimp kabobs (marinated in lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, sea salt and ground chipotle powder). I also made grilled marinated boneless chicken breasts for youngest son since he isn't wild about beef
I have yet to create a drink recipe on my page! For shame... I have so many great drink ideas, too! This one was inspired because Phil bought a bunch of nectarines early last week and they needed to be eaten ASAP otherwise we would have had to throw them out. Also, we ran what seemed like never-ending errands today and I had ZERO water, so I came home feeling like I was going to absolutely die of
