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!
