  2. I can’t believe that the lemon blueberry shortbread did not make the list. It is one of our favorite recipes specially for a no chocolate cookie 🙂

    1. Haha! You're right, these wonderful cookies should have made the cut, for sure! They got overlooked with so many other recipes!

  3. Ah, inspiration for that bag of organic lemons I just bought. They are the only things that keep me going here in the frozen North...foot-high domes of snow on everything, wind and -27C! (-16.6F) at mid-afternoon.

    1. -27! Yikes! I do understand what you mean though, Vivian. I spent the first 27 years of my life in Wisconsin. The winters were so... long!

  4. Makes me wish I had a lemon tree! All look amazingly delicious but I love salads so I’ll have to try those two. Cheers!
