It’s Citrus Season!

Ok, so I may not have a whole bunch of pretty food photos to go with this post…and it may be a little more “wordy”, but that’s ok, right!? I don’t know about you, but I wholeheartedly believe that God created citrus fruits to be in season in winter to keep us longing for summer! ;) It’s the end of January, and my fridge is full of fresh lemons and limes, lemonade, limeade, orange juice, tangerines, blood oranges, you name it! I even have LIME popsicles in my freezer! Sheesh. But seriously, I’m just here to encourage you to try out some citrus fruits this week!

Here’s a few ideas for you to try out this week…

Have some lemons and limes in your fridge? How about oranges?

Slice a few up in rounds and place in a pitcher of water and let it diffuse! Enjoy!!! ;) It’s an easy way to drink more water. It looks pretty and tastes good!

Want to eat an orange but have the peels leftover? Pop them on the stove with a little water and let them simmer…it’ll make your house smell sooo yummy! OR…pop them in a pot with some apple cider and mulling spices for a spicy and sweet warm mug of winter! ;)

Making some berry muffins? Zest a lemon into it for a little citrus kick! Or look up a killer recipe for lemon ricotta muffins! It’s to die for!

Want to display them in your house? Fill up different sized clear glass vases with the fruits and put it on your dining room table for a cheap and cute decor!

Have some salmon in your fridge for dinner? Slice up some lemons and red onion and sprinkle with dill for a yummy flavor!

Making salsa? Add the ZEST of a lime and the juice!

Your disposal smelling funny? Take the ends of the citrus fruit and give it a whirl. You’ll have a fresh smelling sink in no time!

There you go! ;) Give a few of these a try, or if you have any fun ideas, share with us in the comments below!! :)
