a few weeks ago i came across some lovely meyer lemons. a whole bag in fact, for $1.98 (wal-mart if you must know. don’t judge). i bought two bags. actually, i’ve since gone back and bought another because they’re not in season for much longer. i love meyer lemons. they’re a little sweeter than regular lemons but still tart and a little more round. wikipedia tells me they’re a cross between a regular lemon and mandarin orange. so lovely.

last friday night, i really wanted to bake and decided on a quick loaf of lemon yogurt cake. i’ve made this cake of ina’s at least 4 or 5 times. it’s so delicious. i threw some frozen blueberries in there to change it up a bit. with zest in the cake, lemon syrup and glaze drizzled on top, i’d say there’s plenty of lemon going on. i mean that in the best and sweetest possible way. oh, and talk about moist!

i have plans to make meyer lemon curd very soon. and probably this gelato while i’m at it.

have you ever tried meyer lemons? do you have a recipe you’d like to share?
