Recipes That’ll Help You Use a Costco-Sized Bag of Lemons

Created January 21, 2020

When life gives you lemons, make one of these fan-favorite recipes, because one cannot survive on lemonade alone!

So you’ve invested in the big bag of lemons, and now you need a way to use them up. This is just the kind of problem we love to dig into (can you hear us rubbing our hands together in anticipation?). To get you inspired, we’ve gathered up 31 recipes, aka an entire month’s worth, because that’s about how long your bag of lemons will last in the fridge. From ultra-tangy to perfectly balanced, these recipes use lemons in many different ways, which is great, because no one wants to eat the same flavor for a month on end. That’s actually what we like so much about this workhorse of an ingredient. It can take centerstage, as it does beautifully in our recipe for Lemon Curd Tart, but it doesn’t have to either. Sometimes the best thing to do with a fresh lemon is to squeeze it over your schnitzel or pork chop, for the perfect tangy finish! Whatever you’d like to do with your lemons, we’ve got recipes that’ll take you from breakfast to dessert.

Believe it or not, we’ve got more lemon recipes. Satisfy your sweet tooth with one of our luscious lemon desserts or find some mealtime inspiration among these recipes featuring lemon and chicken—dinner’s most dynamic duo!
