I am realizing more and more lately how much I love lemons. We have our own tree with the most fragrant, beautiful lemons. They are a totally cute color. And then they also smell good. And then they do all sorts of nifty tricks like take the onion scent off your cutting board and clean your disposal so it doesn't reek so bad anymore. And THEN they perk up your water. And THEN, they make tasty treats! Lemon squares totally rule, but this time, I wanted to try lemon cookies. Thank goodness for Pinterest. That's all I'm sayin about that. These cookies were awesome. I did tweak the recipe very slightly by adding about double the zest it called for. Even still, next time, I'm adding more. MORE LEMON! I'm a weird-o. For the recipe, visit THIS site.

 

 P.S. Have I mentioned how ugly my lawn/yard/garden is lately? Other than our lemons and a few oranges, we are suffering for something living around here. My poor basil/parsley plant is my sole-surviving plant from last summer and even it is looking pretty pathetic. Here are some OOGLY pictures of my beautiful garden at the moment. Enjoy.
