  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. In serving glasses or bowls, layer the lemon yogurt mixture.

  4. If using, add a layer of lemon curd.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
