I have been having fun finding ways to use this gift of California sunshine. We have had lemon chicken, lemon zest encrusted salmon, lemon bars that I shared with Jill and the kids, and today I made lemon meringue pies.
Before I had the lemon option, and before we had to cancel the first lunch date, I had planned to make this apple cream torte, since Laurie asked for a "light " dessert. So I made it too.
It was 23 degrees here this morning, and now that it has warmed up to 33, we are getting a bit of light snow. It should turn to rain showers over night. I hope so. If the lunch, which is a long drive away for most of us, gets cancelled, we have a LOT of dessert to eat!
Looks yummy. I do love Meyer lemons.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could help you out with the dessert.
ReplyDeleteThe pies look great!! Bet they taste good too:)
ReplyDeleteI do so wish that I could help you out with the desserts, particularly the lemon meringue.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get the snow last night, but maybe you did. The pies do look delicious. :-)
ReplyDeleteOooooh. My mom used to make the best lemon meringue pies. She used to mix the meringue into the lemon and bake so it was light and fluffy throughout.
ReplyDeleteI would love to help you with those desserts, especially the lemon meringue pies. I can't imagine Irene eating a lemon like an orange. She is a sweetie pie, isn't she.
ReplyDeletewhat yummy desserts, I used to bake more but with diabetes it's a challenge
ReplyDeleteThe lemon pies and the wonderful looking cake make me want to go to the kitchen right now and bake something lemony. Luckily I have a large lemon and another half in the fridge!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your plans for a siblings and cousin's lunch doesn't get cancelled.
All your lemon dishes sound absolutely awesome. Lemon meringue is my FAVORITE pie. Sigh... Your pies are so BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a good cook and a good baker. More power to you!
ReplyDeleteWhen life gives you lemons, you sure know what to do with them!
