ZEST!

Have you discovered the joy of zest-ing? If not, I highly recommend this simple addition to an assortment of dishes for a burst of flavor that will transform a routine meal into something special! Use lemon zest (on fish or in pancake batter - see below), orange (in Asian dishes) or lime (great with Mexican).


Lemony Blueberry Pancakes

Add a little bit of lemon extract and lemon zest to your pancake batter and you might decide that you can't go back to regular blueberry pancakes again!

Regular pancake mix
blueberries
lemon zest (to taste)
lemon extract (1/2 t. or to taste)

Add zest and extract to the batter. Stir well. Cook pancakes as directed, adding blueberries after batter has been poured on the skillet.
