Adding a lemon zest for a vibre flavor and for the C.
I didn't have fresh basil so used an emergency cube. When I have a lot herbs and I know I am not going to used them immediately to preserve them I freeze them in ice cubes trays with olive oil. I have mint, parsley, cilantro, tarragon and basil all just in case.
The salmon was ready to be bake with a crust of whole grains.I found it at the whole food market, a frozen mix with cranberries, almonds, quinoa, barley and wheat berries. In this case I also bought it for an emergency fast meal. I seasoned the wild salmon with teriyaki sauce, added the crust and of course, lemon peel. Fast and ready to bake!
This is an other pasta which I love with olive oil, garlic, baby heirloom tomatoes, parmigiano Reggianno, fresh arugula and lemon zest.
A breakfast cake with olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice and peel.
You can really feel the flavor of yogurt and the olive oil. I adore the topping, lemon and lime zest with brown sugar. Total deligh with a cup of tea.
Back to basic and simplicity. Every thing with lemon, after having all kinds of tea for a chest congestion that lasted several weeks my desire for lemon continues. Pasta with lemon zest, salmon with lemon peel and even a cake with lemon. I have to tell you about this pasta.
Made while we were locked at home with the shutters down due to the not welcome home guest, Isaac. Thankfully, Isaac was just a storm with heavy rain and wind here in Florida.

La idea de congelar en aceite es fantástica....yo lo hago, pero este año estoy un poco tonta y me has recordado que tengo que ponerme a ello, que tengo la albahaca ¡que se sale!.

Gorgeous dishes!!! I'd be in citrus heaven :)
All of these look and sound delicious.
It all looks so good, I'd be obsessed with the C too. In fact, hooked.
What great food! Everything looks droolworthy.

You've made 'C' look very good in all your scrumptious dishes;-)
yum! that breakfast cake looks so good!
Beautiful post! Welcome back Lola!
Oh yes! Lemon is such a beautiful food! I am not a fan of it in desserts, but in savory dishes...bring it on! Wonderful dishes and great recipe. Hope all is well!
I'm impressed by the herbs + olive oil in ice cube! I want to do the same trick! Your pasta looks so delicious. I've been trying to stay away from pasta for a while but I think I deserve some break, especially your delicious pasta. Looks so yummy!
Desayuno y cena perfectos una delicia insuperable,abrazos y abrazos.
Wow, I never knew that I could freeze my herbs in with some olive oil. I tend to just dry them out. Great tip Lola! And I love the cake holder too. Everything is making me drool and your props are so pretty. Makes me want to order some off your shop. Am going to pop over your shop shortly too. xoxo, Jo
