Why enjoy Lemon you may ask?? Well because Lemon will not only brighten the color of your chicken with spinach rice but the lemon will also give an amazing flavour to your dish. Lemon adds in a classy touch which is perfect for a weekend night with family, friends and love ones

 Like my grandmother says, Lemon is a natural refresher that will energize your body to do a lot more in a day than in regular basis. Lemon gives a fresh look and taste to any dish, which I understood after adding in lemon to my homemade meals. Hence after the realization I totally fell in love with my Grandmothers discovery about the benefits of lemon. My Grandmother as well is a huge fan of lemons, and I guess that’s where I get my craze for lemons. The secret formula to my grandmother’s successful dishes was the one and only lemon. She used to add lemon in mostly everything..
