Ingredient Spotlight: Lemons

 

Brighten up these cold winter days with the zing of lemons. Whenever I want to take a dish from good to great, I reach for a lemon. They are so versatile and play well with savory food as well as sweets. Not to mention the health benefits! Enjoy these 12 eye catching recipes staring lovely lemons.

Cheesy Lemon Flatbread Pizza With Hot Honey

This recipe begins with homemade Naan bread. Then comes lemon infused oil that you make yourself. Add plenty of gooey Buratta cheese (or cheese of your choice), thin lemon slices, a little bacon (or not), greens of your choice, and hot honey. Doesn't this just look and sound so good? It's a five star recipe, and I can see why.

How Sweet Eats

Lemon Chai Cake

This recipe for a sweet lemony almond cake gets a citrusy twist with the warming flavors of chai. And as you might guess, the chai flavors come from fresh brewed chai tea. What a treat!

Half Baked Harvest

Meyer Lemon Risotto 

Looks good, doesn't it? Loving the idea of adding the green Swiss chard on top for color, texture, and a touch of healthy.

Kitchen Confidence

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes With Blueberry Syrup

This is what I would like make for breakfast this Sunday, in the midst of all of the winter weather. A wonderful new restaurant in Chicago serves it for brunch. It is so good!

The Original Dish

Herbed Garlic Butter Scallops with Lemony Feta Dressing

These scallops are easy enough for a week night meal, but fancy enough for company. Tieghan says that the lemony dressing is slightly addicting. 

Half Baked Harvest

Gluten-Free Lemon Bars with Coconut Crust

These beautiful bars get their color from pink lemons. Have you every heard of them? They are said to be "absolutely stunning." Look for them in the produce aisle. They are in peak season now.

Cooking On The Weekends

Spaghetti with Shrimp, Lemon, Mint and Pecorino

Here's a lightened up pasta dish, that is as unique as it is pretty. This is one to try, and it is going to be a crowd pleaser.

Food and Wine

Brioche French Toast with Fruit Syrup and Meyer Lemon Marmalade

I made French Toast for Christmas, and actually ate it! One of my favorites. This recipe dresses up your toast in a lemon marmalade. YUM!

Williams Sonoma

Roasted Cauliflower With Lemon Pepper And Fresh Thyme

This recipe calls itself a side dish, but I would be happy eating it as my main dish. It's served with a honey Dijon sauce on the side.

Foodness Gracious

Sky High Lemon Meringue Pie

I can not resist a well done meringue. I love to make it but like to eat it even more. The secret is cream of tartar and no humidity. Where's a fork?

A Beautiful Mess

Fish en Papillote with Fresh Herbs and Lemon

I think this is my favorite of the recipe roundup. How attractive, and ever so easy. Essentially, the fish is steamed in parchment paper, and infused with fresh herbs, lemon juice, white wine, and a touch of shallot butter. Delicate and delicious!

Love and Olive Oil

Lemon Mousse With Candied Lemons

One of my fave desserts is chocolate mousse, and I love to make it. This recipe promises to be light as air with a five star rating. Not to mention, it is easy yet very impressive when served in wine glasses.

These Snow Boots Are Made For Walking

I snuck away for a long weekend in the Big Apple, and a day in Woodstock. After experiencing frigid temps and a heavy blanket of snow in Woodstock, I realized that my shiny pointy toe booties just do not do the job.  So this post is personal. These boots are made for walking in any winter weather Mother Natures gives us.  Best yet, many are on sale!
