A collection of over 35 incredible lemon-themed recipes from drinks to desserts and everything in between.
When I started The Lemon Bowl over 3 years ago, I figured it would be a fun way to share my recipes with close girlfriends, a few family members and maybe my mom. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be joining a tight-knit community of talented, creative and inspiring food bloggers. The same people whose blogs I’ve been reading for years and recipes I’ve been sharing on Twitter are now some of my closest friends and I couldn’t be happier.
Yesterday morning, I woke up to check my Twitter feed as usual only to discover that all of these amazing women whom I’ve looked up to for years, all got together to surprise me with a Lemon-Themed Virtual Baby Shower. To say that I was blown away is a complete understatement.
Please enjoy over 35 lemon recipes created by these amazing women! Be sure to visit their websites and tell them Liz sent you. You won’t be disappointed.
Your fork is waiting.
