Honey Lemon + Chili Roasted Squash
While simple roasted squash wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper are delicious on their own, the addition of lemon, honey, chili, and the aromatic spices really turns up the flavor. The combination of sweet, spicy and tangy will really make your taste buds happy.
Lemon Blueberry Tart
This blueberry tart is made with a homemade gluten free pastry crust. The ingredients are pretty basic. I replaced half of the rice flour with millet flour giving it a nutritional boost and buttery flavor. It has a thick crumbly, cookie-like crust, on the outer edges, and the bottom crust under the filling is slightly cake like. The buttery millet crust is filled with slightly sweetened, creamy lemon custard and fresh BC Blueberries. The perfect summer dessert!
Minty Fruit Salad
Now, that spring is in full swing I welcome the warm weather with this beautiful fruit salad. It is so simple to prepare that I didn’t even intend for this to become a blog recipe, but it’s so delicious that I knew I had to share it with you guys! This is no ordinary fruit salad. It goes from simple to sublime when tossed with mint, lemon and fresh grape dressing. When you put a spoonful into your mouth, you can taste a combination of different flavors. This makes the salad feel fancy enough to serve to guests for a potluck, picnic, or party. I actually took this fruit salad to a picnic last week and people loved it.
Naturally Sweetened Beet Lemonade
This recipe for Beet Lemonade is an all-natural beverage that is beautiful to look at and blissful to drink. With a strong blender, you can make this in just minutes using three ingredients, beet, lemon juice and grapes.
Lemony Lemon Cake
I think it’s important for everyone to have a great, reliable, and a killer cake recipe that they can pull out when the need arises. There are always get-togethers, potlucks, and pool parties when you just want to bake a homemade cake that is both pleasing to the eye and to the palate. This one is mine and dare I say, it could be yours too. Bursting with bright lemon flavor, this cake’s got a great softer crumb and tender moist texture. I added lemon juice and zest to the batter, which lightly infuse the cake with fresh lemon. Then, it is doused with a lemon syrup to further enhance the lemon flavor. Finally, the cake is decorated with lemon curd which adds an explosion of lemon flavor to every bite.
Lemon Garlic Chicken Kebabs and Roasted Potatoes
I made these chicken kebabs last weekend. We were entertaining a small group of friends and kebabs seemed like the perfect main course with roasted potatoes. The best part was that I used the same vinaigrette, so less work!
