I too am a lover of lemon. This was delicious. Love the Carba Nada noodles. I was quite surprised by how good they taste. I recently found your blog and can't wait to make more of your recipes. So far you are 2 for 2. Made the vanilla cornbread muffins (I'll be making those again too). Than you so much for posting such great and easy recipes.

just received my order of Carba Nada noodles and had to try them right away. Had them with some chick peas and diced tomatoes....yummmmmm.I have to say I was a little scared to try them because I am a true macaroni lover and I was not disappointed. Thank you for all the products you are letting us know about.
