Breakfast

Meyer Lemon Curd

While regular lemons make a fine lemon curd, there is something special about curd made with Meyer lemons, with a perfect balance of tart and sweet. Enjoy on biscuits or scones, on pancakes or sponge cake, or by the spoonful.

Buttermilk Pancakes

This is a classic formula for pancakes that is simple and fast enough for a weekday morning and indulgent enough for a Sunday brunch. Mix in chocolate chips or blueberries for a special sleepover breakfast.

Banana Bread

If your bananas are getting too ripe to eat and you don’t have time to make banana bread in the near future, throw the bananas in the freezer. Then, when you have time to make the banana bread, thaw them in the microwave and proceed as you would with a fresh banana.

Scones

Tender, flaky, and flavorful, these scones are easy enough to make for a weekday breakfast treat, yet decadent enough to serve at high tea.

Beverages

Gin Fizz

This is a refreshing cocktail for a summertime party and is festive enough for a holiday gathering. I tend to make this most often in January and February during the peak of our lemon season. If you find yourself with an extra egg white, a Gin Fizz is a fine use for it!

Hot Cocoa Mix

This is so much better for you and much better tasting than the store bought hot cocoa mixes that contain dried milk products, corn syrup, and often hydrogenated vegetable oils.

Lemonade

Classic lemonade. So simple, yet, when in possession of extra lemons, I can never recall off the top of my head this ratio for perfect lemonade. I am sticking to a recipe of ratios (vs. measurements) because we generally make the amount of lemonade based on the amount of lemon juice yielded.

Dessert

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

Angel Food Cake

Box-Killer Brownies

Chocolate Cake
