Brad and I love to grow things - from our 15-plant rose garden to yearly crops of veggies and herbs, we love seeing (and eating) the fruits of our labor. Last week I got to make all sorts of tasty recipes, using our latest crop of Meyer lemons. We have two miniature lemon trees, which, due to the nasty weather, have spent several months indoors. One tree gave us over two dozen lemons this year! Yummmmm....one of our favorite treats from our harvest was this batch of Lemon Blueberry Scones with homemade lemon curd drizzled on top. Contrary to what you might think from the picture, they are actually low-fat and whole-wheat! Scrumptious and sinless, too - who could ask for more? :)
