I could either buy 1 lemon for $.99 or a bag of 12 for $2.00. I bought the bag and now need some recipes so they don't go to waste

    Homemade lemonade? My mom always cut them in long spirals, but if you use Splenda it could be a treat rather than sugar. Squeeze several lemons, and marinate fish or chicken. Just add garlic, olive oil, and whatever seasonings.

    My favorite way to have orzo pasta is to boil al dente, drain, add a little olive oil, juice of two lemons, fresh herbs (I use basil, parsley, and thyme), add salt, pepper, and some feta cheese, all while it's still hot. Toss and serve. It's to die for!

    Lemons do keep well in the frig. If all else fails, squeeze them and keep the juice. Lemon juice is great for so many things:
    - to finish sautéed greens
    - salad dressing, with a little olive oil
    - on fresh cooked fish
    - over tuna or salmon salad (instead of mayo)
    - in grain or pasta salads

    Just juice them and freeze the juice in ice cubes. This way you will always have fresh lemon juice when needed.

    Ditto if you're looking for a way to make it last. :3
    And, if you ever feel like it, pop a few cubes of frozen lemon juice into a glass of water, diet coke, tea: the list goes on. :D

    Lemon chicken, it's fantastic.
    Mash garlic onto chicken and soak it in lots of lemon juice, then fry in olive oil. Then serve on rice. Epic lemon chicken-- super healthy and really flavorful!

    Lemon Meringue Pie

    Filling:
    1/2 plus 1 rounded T. cornstarch
    2/3 C water
    1/2 C Fresh lemon juice
    1 tsp honey
    1 whole egg and 3 egg yolks
    1/1/4 tsp. grated lemon rind
    1/2 C Truvia
    2 T butter
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    pinch of salt

    Crust: Prepare pastry for single crust pie and bake. Cool.

    Filling: Stir together cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Heat to boiling over med high heat, stirring constantly until thick. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
    Whisk egg and yolks with lemon rind and Truvia sweetener in a medium bowl. Add several tablespoons of the hot filling to the egg mixture and stir. Then pour the egg mixture into the hot filling and return to heat. Cook over low heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
    Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, and salt. Pour filling in to cooled prebaked crust and cool while you make meringue.

    Meringue:
    3 egg whites
    1 T Truvia
    1/2 C water
    1 T cornstarch

    2 T. Truvia (added later)
    Combine 1 T. Truvia, cornstarch, and water in saucepan. Cook mixture until thick and clear, stirring constantly; set aside. In glass or stainless bowl, beat 3 egg whites until frothy, adding 1 T Truvia at a time, beating until very stiff. Remove beater and add cooked mixture. Mix in gently. If beaten in, meringue will get tough. Spread meringue on filling and seal to edges. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until meringue is browned. Store pie in refrigerator.

    I don't know if I'm just being really dense here but what does she mean by 1 T. Is that a tablespoon?
