Hand dipping a chip in a bowl of guacamole.

If sunshine was a flavor, I think it would be lemon.

The brightness that it adds to any dish, whether sweet or savory, is something that I equate with warmer weather and blue skies.

And living somewhere that is cold and dark for much of the year, I love making recipes that have a pop of lemon to brighten the day.

So whether it is spring or summer and you are embracing the brightness of the season, or are looking to add a dash or freshness to a cold winter meal, I hope that these lemon recipes will give you some inspiration!
