Grilled Orange Chicken Breasts; a hair cut

Thyme for Cooking Posted on September 12, 2018 by KatieOctober 23, 2019
Grilled Orange Chicken Breasts

Orange marmalade is a pantry staple at our house in the summer. Mon mari likes it on toast. I like it in marinades. When you are marinating any sort of meat it helps to poke it with a fork a few times, then turn to soak up the marinade. I think that is especially important with chicken breasts…. They can be a bit bland otherwise. These have to be watched … Continue reading →

Joyeux Noël, Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas

Thyme for Cooking Posted on December 24, 2017 by KatieDecember 24, 2017

  We were in Paris last week. It rained. We foolishly thought that because the streets were empty the stores might not be crowded. We were wrong. It rained – so the entire world went to the big department stores to shop. We tried to go into Galleries Lafayette. Really…. we tried. Actually, we made it through security with no problems. Mon mari looked around, briefly, and said he’d wait … Continue reading →

Chicken with Tomatoes and Capers, Slow Cooker; Le Sergon

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 10, 2017 by KatieDecember 12, 2017
Slow Cooker Chicken and Capers

Winter has arrived which means it’s time to start using the slow cooker regularly. For me, the main appeal of the slow cooker, aside from tender meat, is tossing all the food in with no prep. I would probably love a Thermomix (but not for 1200.00 euro)….. For now I am very happy with the results from my little slow cooker even without the suggested browning and pre-cooking. Chicken with … Continue reading →

Red Chard, Red Wine, Sausage  Risotto; potager surrenders to winter

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 3, 2017 by KatieNovember 3, 2017
Red Chard, Red Wine Sausage Risptto

My potager is closed for the winter. I managed to keep it productive for much longer than usual this year. Strangely, I’ve been picking enough green beans every day for the last month to feed the village – more than I picked at the height of summer. They had been doing so poorly I was going to pull them out in September. I got sidetracked for whatever reason and was … Continue reading →

Baby Pumpkins Filled with Bacon, Shallots, Mushrooms; pumpkins for Halloween 

Thyme for Cooking Posted on November 1, 2017 by KatieNovember 1, 2017
Filled Baby Pumpkins

I didn’t grow any little pumpkins this year but I saw a few at the local market and couldn’t resist. I really do like the flavor. They are moister than an acorn squash and are really the perfect size for a first course. Plus they seem to produce more reliably than the Sweet Dumpling squash that I planted this year….. And they are so cute….. Baby Pumpkins Filled with Bacon, … Continue reading →

Chicken with Onions, Bay and Thyme’ Saint Avit Sénieur

Thyme for Cooking Posted on October 27, 2017 by KatieOctober 27, 2017
Chicken with Onions, Thyme and Bay

When I toss a few branches of bay leaves on the fire to scent the house I realize how lucky we are to live in this climate. Well, that and the lack of snow. After growing up in Minnesota I can be content if I never shovel snow again. We have a laurel / bay tree that is taller than our house. It sends shoots up from the base which … Continue reading →

Le Tour

Thyme for Cooking Posted on July 13, 2017 by KatieJuly 13, 2017

We got back from Italy on Tuesday – but more about that later….. First: Le Tour de France One of the reasons we came home on Tuesday is that all of the roads would be closed on Wednesday because the Tour de France was passing by. It wasn’t going by our house as we live on a small, dead-end lane. It was going by the entrance to our small, dead-end … Continue reading →
