There was a time in my life when chocolate was my favorite flavor when it came to dessert. Well, move over chocolate, there’s a new kid in town. For the past few years, citrus desserts have risen to the top. So, I want to share my favorite Lemon Dessert Recipes with you.
Speaking of all things lemon, I love lemons so much that I’ve decided to add a couple of Meyer Lemon Trees and try my hand at growing my own lemons. I live in growing (or hardiness) zone 8, so I think I can plant them outside. I’ll let you know how it goes.
