Two weeks ago our neighbor popped over with another shopping bag full of the best meyer lemons on the planet, and we’ve been busy making our favorite lemony recipes. We’ve re-made all the ones I’ve shared with you, tried a few new ones, but nothing holds up in the savory category like Parmesan Chicken “Salad”, and in the dessert category the hands-down best, most unusual, fantastic concoction is the Frozen Lemon Meringue Bombe.
So, in case you missed either one of our favorite lemony recipes I’m reposting. The chicken is a perfect one-dish dinner, guest-worthy to be sure and very easy to make (I swear it takes me 15 minutes start to finish now that I can do it in my sleep). Plus, I think it’s better than most fried chicken–so crispy outside with a great crunchy crust, and yet it’s totally healthy! The Bombe is without question the best non-chocolate dessert I’ve ever had anywhere, and in fact I would put it up against many of my chocolate faves, too. Please do try, and let me know what you think.
Catherine…meyer lemons? I am so jealous…my little poor mayer lemon tree is not doing well and I read that you got a bunch of them
The frozen lemon meringue looks so yummie, if I only could have a spoonful…my mouth is watering at the pictures…will save the recipes for later
By the way, the chicken parmesan salad looks yummie, a great meal!

Even though it’s bitter cold here I sure could go for some of that lemon bomb! It sounds even better than ice cream. And I love Parmesan chicken – the lemon vinaigrette sounds excellent.
