I have a confession to make. After baking Lemon Bars the other day I quickly decided I needed to buy more Meyer lemons. Even if I had to pay for them. I hopped into my car and drove to Costco to pick some up. There was only one size available {of course} and I ended up going home with a plastic container full of 18 Meyer Lemons for $6.29.
It’s nice to know some things {like Meyer Lemons} are still considered seasonal produce. I think the fact they only come around once a year, makes them taste even better.
If you happen to get your hands on some Meyer Lemons anytime soon, I highly recommend this recipe. The recipe was printed on the back of the package and to tell you the truth I was a little nervous to try it at first. Would it be good enough? Did I really want to use 3 lemons to make a recipe I had never tried before? It was a tough choice, but I’m sure glad I did. This luscious lemon dessert was Da Bomb!

YUM! I bought lemons because of your posts and now I need to use them but we are out of eggs! What to do with lemons with no eggs?? Must remember eggs.

Oh No… Maybe you can barter with your neighbors. 🙂

Yum! My husband would definitely love this dessert. Quick question, I’ve heard of Meyers lemons, but I’m not sure what the difference is between them and regular lemons….can you explain it?
Mavis says
I believe a Meyer lemon is a cross between and lemon and a mandarin orange. 🙂
