When Life Gives You Lemons—Squeeze!

Warm up your fingers with a hand-held meal that's great for the entire family. Crispy shrimp, rustic foccacia buns and Meyer lemon aioli combine to make a summery-tasting dish that's perfect for keeping the winter blues at bay.

For a more nutritious take on good old-fashioned mac and cheese, replace heavy butter and cheddar with light but protein-dense ricotta and Meyer lemon juice. Mini shells and petite peas make this bite-sized fare perfect for the little people at your table, but the sophisticated taste means mom and dad can enjoy it too.

This flattened chicken should be every mom's go-to entertaining meal thanks to the quick prep time (15-minutes!). The tantalizing smell of a citrus-scented bird will convince your guests you spent hours making them a 5-star meal. Good to Know: This is a gluten free recipe.

When you know you have a busy week ahead, make a pot of this baked barley pilaf, and store in the fridge for a tangy and nutritious side dish. Top it with a fried egg (for protein) and it quickly becomes a 10-minute meal. It also freezes well, and will keep for up to five days in the fridge.

These tasty Honey Nut bars make an excellent breakfast or snack for hungry kids on the go. Customize the flavours by adding in your family's favourite dried fruits and nuts.
