I developed my love for lemons & cooking from my Dad. He was THE CHEF in our family and everything he cooked had some lemon in the mix. Lemons were not reserved just for cooking. He used lemons everywhere & for everything - decoration, cleaning, bathing (skin softener), & medicinal purposes (Dad's 3 Cs - cuts, cough & constipation). Every home we owned had at least 2 lemon trees planted in the backyard. We are definitely reaping the benefits of those planted lemon trees - thanks Dad - we miss you!!!

Dad's culinary skill in making dishes taste great with lemons continues in our household. Lemon is the MAIN seasoning (salt substitute) in our foods - it is healthier & better tasting. Mom gives it 2 thumbs up!

Have a TEErific lemony summer!!!
