Jujube (red) date Glow Granola

March 29, 2026

Lemon Madeleines

November 5, 2018

One of my favourite simple n’ easy things to make when I have too many lemons is madeleines - because my husband adores them! We often get lemons from his lovely colleagues from work, so when life gives you lemons - make madeleines (and dip them in lemon curd)!
