Foodie Friday: When Life Gives You Lemons.....

Forget sour grapes. This week has been one big lemon. In my lifetime, I have not experienced anything like these last three months, and especially the last eight days. Times were tough, and now they are even worse. I find cooking to be great therapy. And as you know, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. So let's head to the kitchen or the grill, and cook up these
 juicy recipes.

Cheesy Lemon Flatbread Pizza With Hot Honey
A lemon pizza may not come to mind when you think of Summer Lemony recipes. And that is why I start with this fabulous recipe. With a crunchy crust, lots of cheese, and the brightness of lemon, this pizza starts the party!

Swirled Blueberry Lemon 
Thyme Cake
Fresh Summer flavors  made into a stunningly simple loaf cake.
Half Baked Harvest

Spring Veggie + Lemon Moroccan Chicken Skewers
My favorite food to grill is anything on a skewer.  All of this is topped off with a Minted Goat Cheese Yogurt sauce. YUM!
Half Baked Harvest

Lemon Curd Icebox Pie
A quintessential summer dessert, especially in the South. My Kentucky Grandmother taught me how to make this as a young girl. I have been making it for years. One never tires of it.
Louisiana Cook'n

Asparagus, Leek & Lemon Risotto
I have always used a spritz of citrus in my risotto. It's a refreshing touch. The best part of this recipe is that you make it in a slow cooker!
Williams Sonoma

Lemon Coconut Tart
Not only visually appealing, but the combo of lemon and coconut always works. The topping is whipped vanilla bean crème fraîche and 
candied lemons.

Gluten Free Lemon & Herb Quinoa

Tabbouleh

I LOVE tabbouleh but have never made it. On the other hand, I am not a fan of Quinoa.  This recipe may just change my mind. It's a beautiful taste of the Mediterranean.

Lemon Thyme Vodka Lemonade

Lemonade and vodka are a match made in heaven. Just had a sip of a friend, Sharon's, last night. Really delightful!

The author of the recipe says it best: "It is easy to make — smells amazing — and tastes delicious! Melt in your mouth zingy heaven!"

fabulous!
