When my Miss 10 saw all the lemons she was keen to make her famous lemonade which both her and her sister adore but is a bit of an experiment. So with the help of Dad, a recipe was googled and some yummy lemonade was made.
With still more lemons left I made a banana cake with lemon icing. Now what else to do with the rest of my lemons? Any ideas?
It's getting to the end of holidays, boredom is setting in, so to keep the day flowing I set up the table on the deck with lots of crafty things to keep them creating for some time.I hope that you had a good weekend. What did you get up to?
yum that cake looks delicious, banana cake with lemon icing is my fave! Cat Taylor has a good recipe for a lemon slice here

What about preserving lemons?

And one from www.recipe.com

I haven't tried either of these recipes but intend to soon. I'm a big fan of Maggie Beer and she uses preserved lemons in so many of her recipes - really adding an extra punch of flavour.
Love the crafty table...your girls look so peaceful. How about some lemon butter...so good!! Hope you have a wonderful week :)
