Lemons are versatile and lemon recipes can be enjoyed any time of the day. I’m jealous of people with lemon trees in their yard. Lemon water in the morning? Certainly. Lemon ricotta pancakes for breakfast? Yasss. Lemon Chicken for lunch? Of course. Fish with lemon for dinner? Duh. Lemon bars for dessert? You know it. Sounds like the perfect day.
I don’t leave the grocery store or farmers market without some lemons, and when a friend offers some lemons off their tree I will take as many as they give me. Lemons are a good source of vitamin C, aid digestion and contains antioxidants- plus, they taste good, smell pretty and are pretty to look at on your counter.
Here are ten lemon recipes that you need to try. Let me know what you think and also what your favorite lemon recipes are in the comments.
