We're sticking with the citrus family theme from last Friday night and recommending LEMON-themed suggestions for tonight!
For those looking for a little pick-me-up, try our Raspberry Lemonade Shooter.
For dinner, we recommend Roasted Asparagus With Garlic Lemon Sauce served on the side of Moroccan Spiced Salmon. Both have just a touch of lemon and a ton of flavor!
Interesting facts about LEMONS:
- Lemon trees bloom and produce fruit year-round. Each tree can produce between 500 and 600 pounds of lemons per year.
- During the European Renaissance, fashionable ladies used lemon juice as a way to redden their lips.
- California and Arizona produce 95% of the entire U.S. lemon crop.
- Lemon is healthy for big things, such as fighting cancer, as well as smaller but still important things, like strengthening the blood vessels.
- Lemons contain more sugar than strawberries!
- Add lemon juice to food just before serving because its vitamin C components break down during the cooking process.
- To avoid the browning of apple slices, sprinkle the cut pieces with lemon juice that's been diluted with a bit of water.
