I get inspiration for recipes in all kinds of interesting places. From travel. From my students. From my friends. From the farmer's market. From a bowl of almost bad lemons.
Yeah, you read that last one correctly. This recipe was inspired by the need to clean out my fruit bowl. Romantic and moving...right? Probably not, but it is also the truth.
Like many people, I really hate food waste. It hurts my heart and I try to not to pitch any of the food that we are so fortunate to have. Even the lemons.
If you have ever walked around the streets of Southern California, you can't make a right turn without spying a citrus tree growing in someone's yard. And when those suckers are in season, they are bursting with fruit! And this year has been especially fruitful in the citrus department. Especially lemons.
Everyone we know seems to have an incredibly successful lemon tree this year. And they are loading us up with their plethora of lemons. All of them. Weekly. Okay, maybe not weekly. But a lot. And, we've done everything we can think of with lemons. Lemonade stands (Alice has made bank this summer on this lemon use). Salad dressings. In our tea. In our water. In natural cleaning products. Nope, not many lemons have gone bad on my watch....and this One-Bowl Paleo Lemon Muffins might be my favorite no-waste venture yet!
So, when life gives *you* a bowl of (almost bad) lemons, go make One-Bowl Paleo Lemon Muffins!
