Lemon Recipes To Brighten A Gloomy Day πŸ‹


Hi there, Reader

Today I'm bringing a little taste of sunshine to your life with my Top 10 lemon recipes. The fact that citrus is in season during the cold winter months is definitely one of nature’s more genius moves! β˜€οΈ

#1 - Lemon Cheesecake Overnight Oats πŸ†

My number one most popular lemon recipe! This really surprised me when I checked my analytics!

​

"Goodness me, this was amazing, almost felt too decadent to eat for breakfast, really woke my tastebuds up and kept me full till lunch, which is a rarity. A breeze to make but total luxury." - Nicky.


#2 - Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake

"Oh my goodness, what a fantastic recipe! The addition of the fine cornmeal is genius, IMHO! I had never used this ingredient in a quick bread before, and the texture is novel and delightful. I have made this several times now and still have to practically muzzle myself to keep from gobbling it all at once. Many thanks for this keeper of a recipe!" -Sue.


#3 - Magic Lemon Self-Saucing Puddings

"Well now, that was amazingly delicious! Another fabulous recipe from Mel (thank you so much). It was super easy and the perfect dessert for two....it looked like sunshine in a bowl with the perfect balance of sweet with tart - SO good :-)" - Cheryl.


​

#4 - Lemony Red Lentil Soup

"Mel, you have a knack for flavour profiles! The soup is so balanced in flavour. The lemon is one of your great additions...We have made it multiple times and it will stay in our "much-used" recipes. Thank you!" - Stanzy.


​

#5 - Air Fryer Lemon Garlic Potatoes

"Made these tonight and they came out perfect, they are the new family favorite. The flavors of the lemon and the roasted garlic were perfect." - Susan.


​

#6 - Vegan Lemon Cookies

"So good, me and my husband are obsessed!! It’s a perfect recipe, one of the best cookies I’ve ever had, vegan or otherwise!" - Lucy.


​

#7 - Vegan Lemon Muffins

"Absolutely wonderful! Made this for the first time today as a snack for me and my friends, and they turned out easily the tastiest and prettiest muffins I've ever made. The crunch from the streusel on top is immaculate and the batter itself, due to the precise measurements and instructions, turned out fluffy, melting on your tongue and perfectly balanced between sweet, refreshingly tangy and just absolutely delicious! - Ezrah.


​

#8 - Vegan Lemon Curd

"I could write a long and descriptive review… but I think I’ll keep it brief. Once again… Ya’ nailed it! " - Michelle.


​

#9 - Vegan Lemon Bars

"The most lemony lemon slice I have ever made. I get so many compliments!" - Maraika.


​

#10 - Lemon Cheesecake Smoothie

"Holy cow, this is out of this world!! One of the best smoothie recipes I've tried." - Lacey.

Hi there, Reader Creamy, silky carrot soup with slippy rice noodles and golden shredded tofu! 😍 The kind of bright, cheerful, hearty soup we need to make us feel better in the depths of winter! This recipe is deceptively quick, coming together in less than 30 minutes, and the soup and the tofu can be prepped ahead and stored in the fridge. It's great for meal prep! I feel like some chili oil or chili crisp is a must as a garnish here. Those deep red pops of colour and pops of spicy, smoky...
