I’ve always wanted to be that cool aunt for somebody else. Since Jeff and I are both only children, we’ll actually never have biological nieces and nephews. So when our friends started having kids, we were ALL OVER the honorary titles of “aunt” and “uncle.” (more…)

While I had an amazing trip to Italy last fall, I have one major regret: I didn’t eat any cannoli there!

Can you believe it? I went all the way there, and never got to try the sweet-ricotta-cheese-filled-fried-pastry delicacy in its homeland.

Granted, I had a huge list of foods I wanted to try, including cacio e pepe, gelato, suppli, oven-fired pizza, fettuccine bolognese, bistecca alla Fiorentina, ribbolita and more gelato, so there just wasn’t time (or room in my stomach) for everything.

I’m excited to announce that as of this month, I’ll be a contributor to Food Fanatic. If you haven’t checked out Food Fanatic yet, it’s a food and recipe website featuring some of the best food bloggers around.

Each blogger is a “fanatic” about something, and the recipes they contribute each month focus on that item or type of cooking. Who’s surprised that I’m now the resident lemon fanatic?

This means that once a month, I’ll be sharing a lemony lovely on Food Fanatic, and also sharing it here, too. I figured I would dive right in with an EPIC lemon recipe.

You know how Americans dread tax season? That was never really true for me. It seemed like I almost always got a small refund, or just owed a couple of dollars. Literally, one year I had to write a check to The State of Michigan for one dollar. They couldn’t just write that off? But this year was different.

The post Meyer Lemon Bars with Poppyseed Crust appeared first on Foxes Love Lemons.

I sort of panicked last week. I realized that Meyer lemon season was up and passing me by. While I’d sort of been side-eying them at the grocery store the last several weeks, I had been so busy with non-lemony recipes for freelance work that I hadn’t thrown any in my cart.

But come on, the very name of this blog would insist that I can’t just ignore these lovelies.

So . . . I may have bought some Meyers. A lot of Meyers. So many that now I’m having another panic – I need to use them, and fast, before they go bad (they’re extremely perishable).

Assume that this will be the first of many Meyer lemon recipes that you’ll see out of me in the next few weeks (I also have lemon creme brulee and lemon curd cake planned).
