Dinner
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.
