Come Back to Me Lemon essay on Feminine Collective

I’d be honored if you’d click over to Feminine Collective and read my essay, Come Back to Me Lemon published on April 30. My mom and food, well they are so connected in my life, in my memories.

“Lemon added beauty to every savory and sweet item on my menu of life. The citrus, the acid, the zing it brought to so many dishes. Lemon infused my cooking, my life with brightness, just like my mother did. Now that she was dead would I ever be hungry again?”
