Lemon Fest {And Zest!}

Life handed me lemons
last week.
{Well Trader Joe’s did.}


So I created a lemon-y menu
and prepared a luncheon
for my yoga buddies.

We started with pink sparkling lemonade
in champagne glasses.
I tossed two raspberries in each glass…

Toasting spring, yoga...and lemonade

For an amuse bouche 
{A fancy French word for "amuse the palate"}
 I made
Lemon-Marscapone Stuffed Dates.
They were lovely with the lemonade!

We started with Avgolemeno Soup--
that’s Greek for Egg-Lemon Chicken Soup.

The main attraction was Heirloom Grain Salad 
{spinach, quinoa, red pepper, avocado, asparagus, palm hearts, provolone and parmigiano-reggiano cheese}
with Lemon Vinaigrette, naturally.

Served with an Indian bread
called Naan.

The grand finale was supplied by my
dear friend Margaret….

Cake from Buttercream Collections

A cake called the Raspberry Royale--
white cake filled with
white and raspberry mousses and fresh raspberries….

Which we relished with a hot cup of tea.

Good thing we all exercise!
