Lemon Recipes for Dinner

“There are several variations of this recipe. You can use fettuccine in place of the penne. I have also seen fresh spinach in place of asparagus. I prefer asparagus instead of spinach as it tends to wilt so fast. I love anything with dill and fresh lemon!” – Belinda

“This amazing shrimp scampi with pasta recipe has won me 3 Blue Ribbons in 3 different contests. It took me 6 months to perfect this recipe. Everyone loves the depth of flavor and says, “This is the best shrimp scampi and pasta I have ever had, I can’t stop eating it.” I consistently have to make a double batch because everyone always gets a second big helping. Garlic bread is a must-have with this recipe, don’t leave it out. Enjoy!” – Jim

“This is a favorite salad I make often. It’s so versatile you can really make it your own easily! Make sure to taste the dressing as you are making it to adjust to your liking! And add as little or as much as you’d like. I also added about 1/2 cup or so of cooked wild rice to the mix this time and it was excellent.” – Lindsey

“This is my all-time favorite fruit salad. the fresh mint and the Limoncello add a wonderful addition to your summer fruits. I promise you will love it. I keep the Limoncello in my freezer. It is always nice and cold. Also good as an evening sipper on a hot summer day.” – nadine

“I feel like I’m waking up after a long winter sleep! The sun is shining and my cooking is moving toward lighter fresh flavors again. Peas and mint always paired well together. Added with some small new potatoes, lemon, and olive oil, this dish becomes a perfect side to an Easter buffet.” – Sandra

“This quick and easy Moroccan chicken dish gets its unusual and delicious taste from the combination of spices and herbs used in the recipe and the slow cooking technique in the Dutch oven. The thigh meat is succulent, tender, and just full of flavor. I hope your family likes this as much as we do! Recipe can be doubled for a large group and finished in the oven in a roaster pan while you entertain your guests. Enjoy! The photo is my own, and so is this humble recipe.” – Bonnie

“Back in the early 2000’s I went out to eat with my Grandpa Klepper, and he was telling me about a chicken salad sandwich that he had fallen in love with and wanted me to try it, so I did. I thought to myself, I could so make this ten times cheaper and than what it would cost to buy just one sandwich. So I looked over the salad and determined that I had most of the ingredients in my own kitchen and I could venture out and make my own. I am so glad I did, now it’s a HUGE hit with family and friends. I even made this for my own wedding reception dinner and got rave reviews. Enjoy!” – Elizabeth

“We love fish and tilapia is so good and easy to fix. The Parmesan cheese in the Panko adds a great change of flavor. Pairs well with the pan-grilled new potatoes and some seasoned green beans.” – Debbie

“To quote my kids ‘Oh my God mom these are heaven on a plate’ and ‘these are my new favorite meal’ and ‘what’s that word for something that tastes hommie, oh yeah, homestyle.’ Needless to say, these are a new favorite in our family. Hubby, my two sons, and daughter-in-law gave them their seal of approval and rave reviews on Sunday night. I came up with this recipe and just had to give it a try. I’m so glad I did. We all loved them. One son had them without the sauce and loved them as much as those of us who ate them with the sauce. They are wonderful either way.” – Annette

“This is one of my favorite dishes that my husband and I make together for date night. I always go back for seconds!” – Sara

“I made this recipe about a good 35 yrs ago. There is a story behind it… I was living in Ithaca, NY and next door to me were a bunch of frat boys from Cornell U that would ask me to cook things for their parties. Once it was the hottest chili they could get and they got it too! This time they wanted Hot chicken wings but not the norm, ie: Buffalo hot wings. So I mixed the hot sauce with the lemon herb recipe that I had and it was an amazingly HUGE hit with the frat boys who asked for this dish numerous times. Those in my family that love hot wings love this recipe too!” – Linda
