When life hands you lemons… squeeze the heck out of them! 🙂

We are definitely in a unique time where we are getting served our fair share of lemons. But, it’s also one of the best times of the year to buy them, so let’s make the most of it!

Here are my favorite go-to recipes when I have life, I mean lemons, to squeeze.

LEMONY ARUGULA PASTA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

I love pasta, especially when you can divert away from the typical marinara sauce! This recipe has a fresh twist to it with freshly squeezed lemon and peppery arugula.  It’s a favorite here at my home!  Click here to head to the recipe!

 

JOANNA GAINES LEMON PIE

You guys, my husband and I fork this pie to death in the refrigerator because we just can’t stop eating it! I think we are secretly trying to make sure we get the last bite too!  My favorite time to eat this might be for breakfast with coffee.  (Is that legal?) This pie is easy to make and requires just a few ingredients.  I always make a little more whipped topping to put on top and serve it up with fresh berries.  You need to try this!  Click here for the recipe!

 

LAVENDER LEMONADE

 

This is by far my daughter’s favorite sweet drink! It just feels like whimsy and summer and all things good.  Each lemon contains about 30 mg of vitamin C, which is about half of the amount you need each day.  So maybe that makes up for the extra sugar 🙂 .   Click here for my favorite way to make it!
