Mystery Ingredient Monday #7

I had such a hard time deciding how to use Anne's choice of lemons. There are so many possibilities and most of them (that I like) come in the form of a pastry or dessert. After making 3 desserts last week I thought we all needed a little less sugar this week. That helped me make my decision. Lemon Roasted Chicken was just what we needed, until Robert, our Head Chef reminded me that he doesn't like roasted chicken on a winters day; let alone on a warm summers' day meant for grilling. Okay. Back to square one. Still, my mind was made up. No desserts or pastries. Well, here we are. It's saturday night and all the recipes I want to make involve lots of sugar... i.e pastries or desserts. So, another week of sugar. Oh and some Lemon.

Mixing the topping by hand made me long for sand

Grating the lemon

If you look close, you can see the lemon zest 

My youngest SIL has become Little Suzzie Homemaker over at my in laws house. She's taken up the task of keeping everyone fed while they're home from school and decided to play along this week. Here is her entry:

Lemon Snow Pudding

Don't for get to link up with Anne and check out Jessica's blog for this weeks MI.
