When Life Gives You Lemons

Well, turns out you can have too much Lamb!

The next day for Lunch we had Lamb, Bean, Beetroot, Quinoa Salad, then for dinner we had Lamb Rogan Josh. Then Leftover Lamb Rogan Josh with a lettuce & cucumber side salad. Then Lamb Ruben toasted sandwiches!! OMG! I think I want to become a Vegetarian!!



And, we still had enough Lamb for another meal! But no! No more! I could not have any more Lamb! The idea of buying in bulk & using all the leftovers, was really not worth it in the end. I think the next time I have Lamb will be at Christmas!! Anyway, was definitely a good effort & a good cooking venture!




Talking about having too much of a good thing...Dad asked if I wanted some Lemons which were growing in his wonderful Veggie garden. And I thought sure, you can always use lemons. Little did I know that I would be going home with a bag full of them!!















So, onto Pinterest to find out what I could possibly make with them all...
Lemon Gelato! Perfect! Used up about four Lemons...of my bagful!! Salmon, Dill & Lemon pasta. One Lemon. Lemon Coconut Chia Balls. One Lemon.



I still have SO many left! What will I do?? Lemon curd? Lemon meringue pie? Lemonade?
Any ideas? I would be greatly appreciative!

Dairy free Lemon Gelato

• 2 cups Almond/Coconut Milk
• 4 Egg Yolks
• 1/2 cup Stevia
• 3/4 cup Lemon Juice
• 2 heaped tbsp. Grated Lemon Peel

Whisk the egg yolks and set aside

Combine the milks and sweetener in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat and bring to a simmer

Once the milk is simmering, reduce the heat to low

Slowly whisk about a ladle full of milk into the egg yolks, whisking the entire time

Slowly add the egg yolk mixture back into the warm pan, whisking the entire time. Add the lemon peel at this time

Continue cooking the mixture on low and stirring until it thickens up, coats the back of a spoon

Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Strain the mixture to remove any seeds and the lemon peel

Place in the fridge or freezer to cool

Once cooled, run thru an ice cream maker or freeze it in a loaf pan.
