As a little girl I would often visit my grandparents home and outside of their home was this huge Lemon bush in which I loved picking the lemons from and eating them just as I would an orange this must have been the beginning of my love for lemons.
Now I enjoy finding recipes that are lemon flavored especially baked goods. Here is the most recent one I found from Nestle and I think would be a perfect Mothers Day dessert.
