    When life give you lemons? Say Yum! Celebrate spring with lemon recipes: desserts, main dishes - even a drink!

    Collage of lemon recipes like lemon margarita, lemon rolls, and lemon chicken.

    Why, oh why do lemons get a bad rep? Like when we give their name to defective cars or less-than-favorable life occurrences? Or suggesting to folks who are bugging us that they might like to go suck on one. It's a puzzle because...

    Lemon is wonderful!

    Lemons bring such bright and refreshing flavor to breads, desserts, meats and salads - and drinks too, of course! That exuberant flavor and vivid color are especially welcome now after months of dreary gray, white and chill.

    So, I've gathered up all the lemon recipes I have to bring some sunshine your way!

    Who wants a splash of lemon? You do!
