Best Homemade Lemon Recipes

Lemons from My Garden on a Vintage Quilt
 I LOVE LEMONS!

Everyone who knows me well knows that I love my lemon tree!   You should also know just how happy it makes me to go outside on a dreary Winter day and find these sunny and cheerful lemons waiting for me.  Yes I still feel that everyone should have a lemon tree just for that reason.  Besides being beautiful, they make your house smell wonderful.  There are also health benefits to eating lemons.  Today was just another Winter day, for this girl in a hat, as I went out to see what my lemon tree had waiting for me.  I was not disappointed!  I found tons of lemons waiting for me.  I brought a few in and am making plans to bake some delicious treats with them.  For now I share with you some of my best homemade lemon recipes so you can enjoy some sunshine this Winter too.


So whether you're growing lemons, or buying them from your local market, Winter is the time that they are in season and when you are most likely to need them to cheer you up on a dreary day.  Lemons are also a staple for Summer when everyone loves to drink lemonade or eat a light dish made with lemons.  I'm off now to spread some sunshine in my kitchen, but first... What is your favorite lemon recipe that you make?  I love finding new ones.

    I'm a lemon nut too. Though sadly not so much my family. There has been many puckers here in the Stafford house. I will have to give your raspberry lemon bars a try. I found my way here from the weekend kitchen link party.
