While lemon recipes are obviously welcome all year round, there is something refreshing and sunny and delightful about embracing all.the.lemon.recipes in the spring when it seems like life is opening up again after the dark abyss of winter.
Below are 15 of my favorite lemon recipes. Some sweet. Some savory. All incredibly fantastic.
I hope you are having a wonderful (and yummy) start to spring!
#1 Easy Soft and Chewy Lemon Sugar Cookies

I have made these wraps for myself every year on my birthday for a shocking number of years. So flippin' good.

#6 Lemon White Chocolate Cream Bars
If you are a sucker for lemon desserts like I'm a sucker for lemon desserts, I hope you take these lemon white chocolate cream bars very seriously.
I made these and sent them to work with my husband that's in the Navy. He texted me soon after and said "You should hear the expletives my sailors are using for your lemon stuff." Haha I'd say they were a hit. Oh and I loved them too -Shanna

I grew up eating my mom's amazing lemon bread. This is an old recipe, but still a keeper!

#9 Amazing Lemon White Chocolate Cheesecake
Ok, forget what I said about another lemon dessert being my favorite. I think this one is actually it (or maybe I just shouldn't force myself to choose a favorite! 😂). Light, creamy, lemony, amazing.
This is the best cheesecake ever! We have been making it regularly for family for a couple of years now, and it has become a bit of a celebrity 🙂 -Savannah

#11 Lemon Bar White Chocolate Brownies
You just have to try these to fully understand how truly remarkable they are.
I can't say enough good things about these bars. I've received comments like 'these are the best lemon bars', 'can you jar the lemon layer and sell it to me?' To 'I've never had a crust like this and it's what makes this recipes.' Needless to say these are hands down the best lemon bars I've made and by far the most popular dessert I've made for the group (and I've made a lot). I keep coming back because your recipes are so darn delicious. Thank you for sharing! -Jen

#15 Lemon Blueberry Cake with Whipped Lemon Frosting
An absolute showstopper. 😍
I made this cake for company this weekend. The only change I made was to add 2 TBS of lemon juice to the frosting to give it more lemon flavor. The cake was a HUGE hit! I don't care for most cake, but this one is an exception. -Laurie

What You've Been Making and Loving This Week
It makes me so happy when you leave reviews and comments on the recipes you love!
Laurie: Made it for the second time today because it was such a hit when I made it for the first time last weekend. Such a nice tender cake with epic frosting. I did make a small tweak this time by adding an extra tablespoon of cinnamon to the batter and an extra oz (4 oz total) of cream cheese to the frosting. So delicious!
>> Applesauce Spice Cake
Carrie: Best bread ever! I'd never made bread before and this came out perfect. The recipe was super easy to follow. I make it weekly now because it's so delicious and easy to make.
>> Easy French Bread
Tanya: We loved everything about this recipe! I used cutthroat trout baked in a foil packet in the oven.
