Lemons to Warm Your Heart and Wake Up Your Taste Buds

These are delicious and easy to make, but also fattening and a bit sweet. Someone gave us several gorgeous, orange-sized California lemons, and this recipe seemed the perfect way to spread the sunny tartness around.

Try a bar with a cup of black, strong coffee if the mid-morning hungries hit.
