If you don't want to make the chocolate peppermint flavor,
how about a lemon sugar scrub?
I am a HUGE cheesecake fan and something
about lemon desserts have always been a huge weakness of mine.
If you aren't as wild
about lemon as I am, cut back on it or leave it out completely.
Thanks for letting me know because I learned something
new about lemon desserts.
I'm sitting here, trying to
write about these lemon bars, hoping to be inspired by eating one... and instead I'm being distracted by just thinking about eating one.
Well if you aren't completely obsessed yet, here's a bit
more about lemon print that will hopefully get you over the edge!
When she passed, I
asked about the lemon press, but someone else in the family and already spoken for it.
My question though is
about the lemon juice - I'm allergic to citrus, and so jealous of all the lemon recipes you do.
I
worry about the lemon juice going bad unless it acts as a natural preservative, I don't think their would be any trouble with the vinegar.
I did consider fancying it up with fresh herbs and maybe some white wine, but I wanted to stay true to the simplicity of the original, which really was all

I know, I know — I just wrote a
post about lemon curd tarts, which happen to be one of my favorite desserts.
What you'll really
love about these lemon yogurt parfait is that they can be made a day in advance and refrigerated until you're ready to set them out for serving.
But I knew I wanted to add more risottos as time went on, and recently I was thinking
about lemon risotto.
What I like so much
about these lemon cheesecake squares besides being so darned delicious, is the light taste of almonds in the shortbread base, and that amazing lemon filling the combination is perfect.
If you take a bite of these pretty looking Lemon Meringue Cupcakes by Blahnik Baker you will be totally crazed
about this lemon goodness.
I've been hearing a
lot about lemon water (squeezing half a lemon in a glass of water), that it has lots of beneficial effects, including weight loss, improved digestion, breath - freshening, boost immune system, cleanses your liver of toxins, give you an energy boost, keep skin clear, reduce inflammation.
She ended up making it for Easter (sadly I wasn't there to enjoy it)-- but after her telling me about all the rave reviews, it got me thinking /
drooling about lemon cheesecake.
