Hi! I have a package of two self stick note pads that are shaped like lemons.

Here's the challenge:
I want to know the easiest or somewhat easy recipe to make involving lemons or a good health/beauty tip using lemons. I will pick a winner from the list on Thursday. Good luck!

Gradually add sugar while continuing to mix. Spoon over first mixture. Brown meringue in oven at 400 degrees for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Keep refrigerated. Serves 8.

Not to much a recpie, bt makes an amazing tasting drink..

Infused Lemon Water

Put a sliced lemon in a pitchur of water for several hours. It's amazing how wonderful it tastes. All the favor of lemonade, but none of the sugar. You don't even notice it. Wonderfully refreshing!! You can use the same lemons for several days.

Ive heard you can rub the flesh part of a lemon on your fingernails to clean them.

anyone else have any recipes or health tidbits they want to share? I am going to pick someone on Thursday....

For Colds and Sore Throats
Lemon juice is excellent for colds and sore throats. It's vitamin C levels help boost the immune system and its astringent and antiseptic qualities nurture the body's healing capabilities.

Cough Syrup: Mix 1 part lemon juice with 2 parts honey. (First time users and children: Do not give to children under 1 year old, and make sure to test for any food allergies.)

For the Throat: Drinking tea with lemon and honey relaxes and soothes the throat, while relieving a cough.

The anti-viral properties of lemons also help us recover from the flu. Combine lemon juice and honey in hot water and drink.


For The Digestion
Drink lemon juice with water in the morning or any time during the day.

Insect Bites
Dab a little lemon on the bite to help healing and reduce swelling.

* Caution: Be careful in applying lemon juice on the skin if you are going to be out in the sun as it can make the skin photosensitive.
