HERE: 21 Bright Recipes & Cook's Tools


Blood Orange Cocktail
This recipe is easy. Just combine white wine, vodka, blood orange juice, simple syrup, Grand Marnier, and ice! I was sold at the words "Grand Mariner." Loving the fresh rosemary garnish. It's unexpected and gives a great aroma to this 
chic cocktail.

 Citrus Mint Salad With Honey and Lime
A refreshing treat any time of year, but especially good in the Winter. Make a big batch of this sweet and tangy salad as soon as you feel those telltale signs of sickness. Drizzle with extra honey and mint to help with
 an itchy throat.

Roasted Chicken With Allspice & Lemon
They say that the hardest part of this recipe is cleaning the sheet pan after cooking. From the looks of it, it will be worth the elbow grease.

Honey Cake With Citrus Frosting
Oh how pretty! A light cake that is laced with hints of coffee and orange juice. 
How interesting!
Food & Wine

Shrimp and Citrus Cocktail
I love to serve shrimp, but the typical red sauce that usually accompanies the shrimp seems just old hat. This treatment, however, is fresh, bright, and seems quite gourmet.

Grapefruit Donuts
You must be thinking, Grapefruit donuts? Really? Me, too, until I read through the recipe. They are actually very light and fluffy with the perfect ratio of sweet and tart. Maybe we wouldn't feel so guilty knowing that these babies have the benefit of antioxidants and vitamin C!!
A Beautiful Mess

Cuisinart Pulp Control Citrus Juicer
This sleek stainless juicer gets out more juice than the others. Best yet, it's less than $30.

Seared Scallops With Finger Lime
 Beurre Blanc
If you are like me, you are wondering what the heck are finger limes? Here's the answer: "Finger limes, sometimes called "the caviar of citrus," add tartness and balanced sweetness to this rich dish of seared scallops in decadent beurre blanc sauce. Yes, please!
Saveur

Mini Dutch Babies with Homemade Lemon Curd and Fresh Blueberries
Aren't these the cutest? These babies are puffy and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. Amazon has the mini cast iron skillets for less than $5.00
Nerds With Knives

Citrus Fennel and Avocado Salad
The variety of citrus shapes and colors bring the drama. The Fennel adds a fabulous depth of flavor. I would call this the perfect salad.
Foodie Crush

Citrus Shrimp
Most of us have used lemon with shrimp before. But oranges? Not me and it looks and sounds 
so delicious.
Bakers Royal 

Citrus Juicer
This hand held wonder is said to get 20% more juice out of your citrus than other handhelds, thanks to the patented mechanism. It's sure to make lime time easier.

Spaghetti with Mascarpone, Meyer Lemon, Spinach, and Hazelnuts
After reading that title, you hardly need to read more. All of those yummy ingredients paired with pasta must be amazing!

Glazed Grapefruit Cake
Isn't this the prettiest? Said to be heavenly scented with zest. The grapefruit slices have been sugared topped with glaze and broiled. Sounds delightful!

 Sesame-Crusted Salmon with Orange and Roasted Carrot Salad
What a pretty plate! This dish is so easy and oh so good for us. It's dairy-free, Mediterranean, Family-Friendly, paleo, soy-free, gluten-free, diabetes-friendly, with lean and
 clean ingredients.

Bake Sale Lemon Bars
Who can resist the tangy sweetness of this classic treat? This recipe if from a farmers wife, who probably has been to many bake sales.

Cuban Fish Tacos With Citrus Mango Slaw and Chipotle Lime Crema
These tacos are filled with grapefruit, cara cara, blood oranges, limes, and mango. Tieghan suggests that the taco be made with Salmon or Mahi Mahi. I suggest that you use your favorite seafood. With all of that citrus flavor, you can't go wrong.

Clementine Meringue Pie with 
Olive Oil Crust
A good meringue is one of my favorite things. And who wouldn't love this fluffy topping? I mean, it's half sugar. I never had a pie made from Clementines, but can't 
you just taste it now?

Citrus Knife
I happen to own this knife. It does a great job cutting through tough rinds and soft fruit.

Greek Lemon Chicken Soup
Good for your soul? I think so. The added feta cheese and couscous makes this one 
special recipe.
