When life gives you lemons… make delicious lemon bars. I don’t drink lemonade anymore, so this is the best option for me :P Well… I guess you know this old saying. If life is treating you badly (or maybe a person) – make the best out of it. No matter if it’s lemonade or lemon bars. A piece of cake definitely makes you feel better and then you can handle everything else much better, right? :P
Cookies are not only good if you make them with chocolate and nuts… even though you could think so looking at the number of cookie recipes I got for cookies with chocolate and/or cookies with nuts ;) Nope… there are many other combinations that work well. For example, everything with citrus is normally awesome – like these Lemon & Rosemary Cookies. So good!
My first draft for this article was a bit rough. I called the cake you can see an “accident” which is not true. The story of this cake is not based on an accident – it is based on stupidity. My own stupidity… ;) Let me tell you why. But first, take a look at this delicious Lemon Ricotta Polenta Cake with Cherries and try not to drool on your mobile or your keyboard :P
Yesterday I published an easy recipe for a sweet and delicious Lemon Curd… so what could be better than use it right away to make something equally delicious? Yeah, right? Makes sense… if life gives you lemon curd – make a Lemon Cheesecake Pie topped with Lemon Curd and Whipped Cream! ;)
Sometimes I wonder why it took me so long to make lemon curd at home. Stupid. It is such an easy thing to do and the result is sooo delicious! Well… as we say in Germany “Lieber spät als nie” – translated “better late than never” ;)
I don’t know if you’ve experienced this kind of feeling… or better said urge ;) The urge for lemons, oranges and everything citrus when the weather is bad and when it’s cold outside. There are days where I think “I need vitamins immediately – is there a lemon somewhere so I can have a bite?!” ;) Well… fortunately, there are ways to avoid this kind of weird behavior. Just make this Tarte au Citron Meringuèe and all is fine! Let me show you how to make it (with a little help of my friend aka. the Retro Ribbon Red handheld mixer from Russell Hobbs).
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
