It’s full of sugar, yet sour to the taste.  The zest and juice can last for days. Cleaning, cooking, baking and power. It uses can go on for hours. It is the Lemon!

This was a really fun segment to put together. I LOVE the scent of the lemon best and finding about all its uses was zesty. I was juiced to see that it really is as versatile as those wives tales would have you believe. Single gals like myself are always weary of wives tales. My favorite pin turned out to be the dessert pin (who would have thought right?) because most lemon desserts are either WAY too tart or have so much sugar in them I can feel my teeth dissolving. These Lemon blondies, however, were delicious and had just the right balance of pucker lips and sweet lips. Yum! Please enjoy my top Pins that use lemons!
