🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Lemon Desserts for Spring

Hey friends❣️

Sending some lemon love your way today with lemon desserts that have earned my Great Island stamp of approval!

​Creamy Lemon Crumble Bars​

If I could only have one dessert for the rest of my life, this might be it. These bars are tart, tangy, buttery, and not overwhelming. They go from breakfast to snack time to after dinner equally well. Ideal for transporting to any event, too. Pretty perfect.

​Lemon Shortbread​

My proprietary lemon sugar makes this shortbread stand out from all the others. The burst of lemony flavor is always a sweet surprise!

​Lemon Drizzle Cake​

Most of my lemon 'desserts' are equally at home on the breakfast table, and I'd say that's the hallmark of a great dessert recipe: never too sweet or too elaborate to enjoy with a cup of morning coffee.

​Warm Lemon Pudding Cakes​

If you've never made a pudding cake, this is a fun one to try. Top it with your favorite fruit ~ raspberries, currants, blackberries, or thin slices of lemon work well.

​Meyer Lemon Cake​

This cake is just plain special, be sure to bookmark it for when you happen upon Meyer lemons. The flavor and texture are incredible and like nothing you've had before, I guarantee it.

​Raspberry Lemon Blondies​

Raspberry lemon blondies are the brightly flavored bars with a gorgeous pink glaze you'll be making all spring long!

​Lemon Sugar Crumb Cake​

Lemon Sugar Crumb Cake is a mile high New York style coffee cake with a delicate fresh lemon flavor perfect for spring mornings.

​How to Make Lemon Sugar​

Every lemon lover needs to know this trick!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

zucchini dessert recipes

Hey friends❣️ Yup, you guessed it, it's zucchini day! Don't get me wrong, I love zucchini with dinner and for dinner! I make my Zucchini Parmesan Crisps and my Healthy Zucchini Fries all the time, and my Stuffed Zucchini with Pine Nut Salsa is a great low carb dinner. I'll often "beef" up my meatballs with some shredded zucchini, and this pasta is a summer fave. But there's something about baking with zucchini ~ I don't know what it is, I mean the little shreds basically dissolve into...

Fried chicken Cobb salad

Hey friends❣️ I’m back this morning with something healthy and indulgent ~ which, now that I think about it, pretty much sums up the Great Island style. I could eat this salad every night for a week! Fried Chicken Cobb Salad Think the crunchiest lettuce, fresh summer corn kernels, crispy bacon, silky avocado, luscious eggs, juicy little gem tomatoes, and creamy blue cheese. Did you think I deep fried chicken for this recipe? Think again! I use my favorite shortcut to make it so much easier....

blueberry poppy seed bread

Hey friends❣️ I'm definitely on a roll lately, can you tell? I mean any week I can publish Tomato Melts, Boursin Butter, and No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake is a good week in my book. And I'm finishing strong with a phenomenal quick bread~ Blueberry Poppy Seed Bread (one bowl) It's soft and moist, loaded with berries, and has my signature crunchy crackly top. Slice it nice and thick, sit down with a cup of something steamy and give it a taste test. Don't talk with your mouth full, I already know...
