It’s probably about time for a truly lemony post, here on Love and Lemons. Pucker up, this sweet & sour ice cream is the perfect way, in my opinion, to welcome spring. (Or to dream about spring if it hasn’t quite reached you yet). Yes, an ice cream maker is required here — I’m not going to lie, it takes up an annoying amount of space, but we really do use ours quite often....
I used some spice mixes to flavour these chips up, kindly provided by McCormick’s Australia. McCormick’s is a popular spice brand and I have used different blends from them in the past but I discovered a few lovely flavours in the gift pack I received, namely chilli lime and garlic chilli. Adding a few pinches to these chips as they cook in the microwave elevates it to the next level....
If there’s any vegetable that’s under-represented on this blog, it has to be the potato. If you take a glance at our recipe index, you’ll notice that I while I have a mild obsession with sweet potatoes, I often skip over other potato varieties. But I have to tell you, I’m in love with all potato varieties (russets, red, whites, blues, the list goes on…), which are especially great for entertaining....
Raise your hand if you love miso soup! Same. The cloudy broth is warming, nourishing, and deeply flavorful. On a cold, gray winter day, there’s nothing I crave more. It clears my head and warms me up from the inside out. For years, I only ate miso soup at Japanese restaurants. But after Jack and I traveled to Japan for the first time, we got curious about Japanese cooking at home....
If you’ve been following for long, you know that I have a slight obsession for all things that are mini. Mini skillets, mini pies, mini tacos – but my absolute favorite small food has to be mini pizzas. They’re quick and easy to make and a fun way to try lots of different toppings. These would be great for a summer party – you could even toss these little guys on the grill if you don’t want to heat up your house....
If you need a reason to try (and love) miso, this is your recipe. I’m hoping eggplant is still in season where you are. I was excited to find these little nearly-black beauties at our farmers market last weekend. If you don’t have eggplant, this sweet & salty glaze is amazing on cod, tofu, and even sweet potatoes. There are many variations to the dengaku recipe – some use sake along with mirin, some add a bit of ginger… I’ve even made it with agave syrup before (although that would probably not be approved by the Japanese, shh)....
You don’t need to go to a bar or a restaurant to enjoy an old fashioned. Nope, this classic whiskey cocktail is a cinch to make at home! In fact, it’s Jack’s favorite drink, so we always keep old fashioned ingredients on hand. They’re super simple: whiskey (Jack likes rye), Angostura Bitters, a little sugar, ice, and an orange twist for garnish. The simplicity of a classic old fashioned means that there’s not much to mask the flavor of the liquor....
This year, this parsnip puree is taking the place of the mashed potatoes at our Thanksgiving dinner. You might be thinking, “What?! That’s crazy!” You’re not alone. That’s what Jack thought too. He’s a big mashed potato purist. Last year’s cauliflower mashed potatoes were a stretch for him, so parsnip puree sans potatoes seemed pretty nuts. Well, good news! Both of us couldn’t stop eating the puree by the spoonful before it made it to the table....
First, thank you all SO much for your Italy foodie suggestions, the other day! They are all so so helpful. I’m writing this from the terrace of our small, yet very awesome, airbnb apartment in Rome. It’s picturesque, I’m not going to lie. What’s less idyllic is this jet lag. I always expect it to get easier, but every trip it seems to hurt a little more… of course, nothing I’m sure a little gelato won’t fix....
Thanks to a bit of help from a food processor, these incredible cinnamon rolls are simple to make and have the most luxurious buttery texture. Don’t let cinnamon rolls or the length of our recipe intimidate you! You can make them in a few hours or turn them into overnight cinnamon rolls (I’ve shared all my tips in the recipe). Key Ingredients Flour: I typically use all-purpose flour for these cinnamon rolls, but bread flour is also a great option if you have it on hand....
I’ve been making scrambled eggs since my father taught me when I was 10, so I think I’ve been perfecting them for over 25 years! I love creamy scrambled eggs, and thanks to culinary school, I have the perfect method for making them. You need three simple ingredients for this recipe: eggs, butter (or olive oil), and salt. I don’t add anything else to my scrambled eggs recipe. There’s no water, no cream, and no milk!...
Our family loves roasting broccoli, but we are picky about it! You won’t find any mushy, overcooked broccoli here. Our method gives you perfect roasted broccoli with tender stems and crispy, golden brown florets. For more broccoli recipes, try our cheddar roasted broccoli, this incredibly delicious broccoli cheddar soup, or swap the broccoli for its cousin and make roasted broccolini! Key Ingredients Broccoli: For the best roasted broccoli, use fresh broccoli....
We love this easy fish recipe. It doesn’t call for lots of ingredients and is very quick to make. Scallions (or spring onions) are a big part of the recipe. So often we see scallions used as a finishing touch, but they can be used for so much more — they’re mild, not pungent and when you cook them, they turn sweet, gently wilted and tender. How to Bake Fish with Scallions and Orange Look for a firm white fish for this — rockfish, striped bass or halibut are all excellent....
Currently, I’m sitting inside with three shirts on, one scarf, and one coat. I’ve been in Chicago for the last few days visiting my family, and it’s no surprise that I showed up just in time for the first snow. It always knows when I’m coming. In my parents’ house, there are 3 options to get warm – first, don’t take your coat off, and second, turn up the heat when no one is looking… but by far the most effective method is to BAKE....
I know I said roasted, but we actually do not use an oven for this. You could, but we’ve found that toasting the almonds in a skillet on the stove helps the almonds cook evenly and prevents burning. We love fresh thyme with the almonds, but almost any fresh herb will work nicely. You can even make spicy roasted almonds by adding a dried chile or crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet when toasting the nuts....
I never knew much about tamales before I knew Adam. For as long as he can remember, Christmas Eve meant tamales. His mother does what I am sure her mother did when she was a child; she prepares the filling, soaks corn husks and then gathers all of her children round the dining room table to spend the next few hours making tamales, talking and laughing, often to Christmas music, which she still plays on her old vinyl record player....
My mom is in town visiting this week. Usually she comes bearing a pile of recipe clippings that she’s been collecting for weeks leading up to the trip. I’ve been stuck in a bit of a “same-ingredient” rut lately, so I was really looking forward to someone else just telling me what to make. But this time she showed up empty-handed and said, “I’m here to eat what you make – you know, all of those recipes you post that I never get to eat because I’m not close enough to stop by for dinner....

If you love pizza with a thick and chewy crust, this sheet pan pizza recipe is for you! I bake it in a quarter sheet pan or jelly roll pan, which gives the crust crave-worthy crispy edges and enough height to stand up to ample sauce, cheese, and veggie toppings. It’s perfect for Friday nights, parties, or even game day—any time you want a meal that’s just as fun as it is delicious....
