Since moving to California with amazing access to citrus, I love cooking with lemon. These are a few of my favorite lemon recipes.
Our backyard is currently filled with the intoxicating aroma of citrus blossoms. It’s the part of the citrus growing process that is second only to the lemons and oranges that come several weeks later. That scent has the power to take you from a bad to a good mood in one swift sniff.
While I wait patiently for new fruit, occasionally sticking my head out the door to breath it in, the lemon tree has been kind enough to produce some stragglers throughout the entire summer. I pulled a few off the tree to photograph last week and it got me in the mood for some of my favorite lemon recipes. These five recipes are from the Fake Food Free archives and worthy of being made again year after year. (Click on the name and it will take you to the recipe.)
Blue Potato Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Lemon Tuna and Chickpea Salad
Lemon Rosemary Thumbprints with Peach Jam
Blood Orange Bulgar Wheat Salad with Honey, Meyer Lemon and Cilantro Dressing
Kale and Pistachio Soup
Ah, your backyard sounds heavenly!
And all of your lemon recipes sound wonderful, but especially the Lemon Rosemary Thumbprints with Peach Jam! Yum.
I’m still getting used to having all the fresh citrus here in California. It is so great! Thank you! I do love those cookies. 🙂
