Three cheers for lemon zest!

When I think about lemon I can't help but smile...so fragrant, so colorful, so...zesty! A little goes a long way and in fact if you have a recipe that calls for salt you can add a little lemon zest and cut the salt by half. I made these little gems as an expirement...my basic vegan, vanilla cupcake recipe...with a little organic lemon to the batter and frosting. What started as an experiment quickly became my favorite treat!

The next time your in the kitchen...think about our little yellow friends and smile!
