Lemons, so handy when cooking. They are oval in shape, with a pronounced bulge on one end, lemons are one of the most versatile fruits around, and contain a high level of Vitamin C. Although the juicy yellow flesh is a little too sour to eat on its own, its citrus fragrance and tartness means it's wonderful combined with all manner of ingredients and dishes, from the sweet to the savoury. The bright yellow skin can be used as well, when zested. A kitchen essential. You can read more about lemons here

WOW! I USE LEMON TO MIX WITH MY WATER AND CHIA SEEDS. MY DAUGHTER WOULD LOKE TO BAKE THIS.
ReplyDelete...lemon adds a bit tang!
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking, I want to try them all.
ReplyDeleteIt must be really good!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipes!
OK you are going to think we are nuts, however, my daughter and I eat lemons like oranges. After the first mouth watering, lip puckering bite the lemon is so refreshing. I think I will try the t cup cake, that sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteThey all look delicious but I'd have to go for the lemon cheesecake fluff - yum!
ReplyDeleteI've made lemon custard before. I like to buy lemons and keep them on hand because I don't like tap or even filtered water, but love it when there's a lemon slice to add a bit of zing to the water.
ReplyDeleteI love lemons, all those desserts look good to me.
ReplyDeleteA bonus to cooking with lemons is that they make the kitchen smell good.
ReplyDeleteI really like lemons, so any of these would be good except the baked custard - perhaps I'd do 2 cheesecakes instead lol. Take care and have a wonderful week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteI love lemons and lemon sweets.
ReplyDeleteLos cítricos son beneficiosos y en España tenemos una buena producción.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Oh my, how delicious they all look.xxx
ReplyDeleteEven the scent of lemon is refreshing and I am so often amazed at the lift even a small amount of lemon juice adds to a dish.
ReplyDeleteLemon is my favorite flavor so I am wild about this post. They all look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love lemons - yummy!!! Thanks for the great recipes!
ReplyDeleteLemon custard sounds and looks delicious! Funny to read about lemons. Just yesterday I discovered petrified lemons in the back of a fridge shelf. I didn't realize I've begun to buy them nearly every grocery trip. :) Now I have a reason to remember to use them.
ReplyDeleteLemons are great in cooking and baking. My step-dad loved anything made with lemon.
ReplyDeleteThese look good.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will try the mug cake.
ReplyDeleteWe'll certainly try the custard. Thanx Jan.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I do love lemons.
ReplyDeleteThey all look amazing! My parents have a gigantic lemon tree so we have a steady supply of wonderful fruit.

ReplyDeleteLemons are huge flavor blasts...I use lemon and olive oil on my salad each day and it's my favorite flavor. All the deserts in your post look scrumpciuos.
ReplyDeleteLemon is great anytime of year, isn't it? These look very yummy!
ReplyDeleteLemons add such brightness to so many dishes. The baked lemon custard looks really delicious.
