Ok, so I am a fan of lemon if you can’t already tell from my last post Peppermint, Lemon Tea
Since it’s spring, a LOT of people have head stuff going on!! Sinus junk and whatnot. Anyways, if you are one of those victims of spring…I suggest you check that tea out! Now, on to this lovely new recipe full of spring goodness!
I made a Simple Simon crust from the THM book. Trust me when I say the name says it all!! 3 ingredients, and SUPER FAST to throw together! I used Bob’s Red Mill Coconut I love when there are brands you can trust to be truly good ingredients! For Coconut oil…we get serious. We get the big tub from Sam’s Club! (Linked here)
Since all my friends in Arizona just had Citrus Season, you all can make this pronto!! I heard it was an abundant year too. I’ve always been a fan of all things lemon. Be it a lemon tart, lemon-head, (No I don’t eat those anymore) lemon drops, or even lemon cake. Making myself hungry over here.
So I just noticed something, and I’m wondering if anybody else has noticed yet. In my pictures, the utensils are always on the left hand side. Yup I’m lefthanded and proud of it! Any fellow lefties out there??
The lemons on top were my mom’s idea. She’s always got the best ideas! It’s amazing how a little detail can really enhance a picture.
Another little detail, also my mom’s fantastic idea! When taking pictures a lot of times you forget about the little, but important things. That’s what your mom is for. Also just a side note, this tastes AHHMAZING with my Quick, Easy, Keto, Low-Carb Cool Whip (BONUS) on top! Trust me on this. It mellows out the lemon slightly but isn’t overpowering.
