One of the things I love about Maine is the fact that we can get our hands on the freshest of seafood. And by fresh, I’m talking “morning of.” Whatever it is comes off the boat in the morning and is in the stores by the afternoon. One of my favorites is mussels. I’ve loved […]
Cucumber, Onion & Parsley Orzo Salad Recipe
I’ve been cooking a lot lately. And by a lot, I mean more than I’ve ever cooked in my life – variety-wise. Of course, I cook to eat every day, but I’ve never prepared this many distinct dishes at any other point in my existence. The thing is, sometimes I feel like what I prepare […]
Deep Dish Pizza in Cast Iron Skillet Recipe
I challenged myself this afternoon. I wanted to see if I could make a deep dish pizza in my 12″ cast iron skillet. I suppose I knew I could – I just wondered if what I ended up with would be worth eating. To see what would happen, I found a few recipes online that […]
Hash Brown & Eggs Skillet Breakfast Recipe by Never Enough Thyme

Extra Cheesy Garlic Hasselback Potato Gratin
I’m not sure how I ever missed hearing about the hasselback potato. In my opinion, it’s nothing short of a miracle of nature. It’s tender, extremely flavorful and great at parties. Ever since I made my hasselback potatoes, I’ve wanted to continue on with something similar, but different. During my travels, I bumped into a […]
Garlic Stir-Fried Shrimp with Snap Peas & Red Bell Pepper Recipe
Even before I began putting this recipe together, I knew it was going to be good. One look at the ingredients told me so. For starters, I love shrimp.

Delicious French Omelet Recipe Gone American
If you’re an egg lover, I encourage you to read this post through in its entirety. The result of the following recipe was intensely flavorful and (I am finding myself saying this an awful lot lately) probably the best omelet I’ve ever tasted. I’m not kidding. When I find myself still thinking of what something […]
How I Really Screwed Up My Hard-Boiled Eggs
Have you ever tried to peel a hard-boiled egg and ended up wanting to throw it through a closed window instead? Really? I know what you mean. There are few things in life more annoying than an egg that turns into something dreadful during the peeling stage. The good news is that I’ve figured out […]
