By Gretchen McKay From Pittsburgh Post-Gazette How did you eat pork chops growing up? If you’re of a certain age, I’ll bet it was with a side of applesauce or maybe homemade mashed potatoes.

Lemon Cupcakes Taste Like Pure Sunshine
Chocolate and vanilla may be the perennial cupcake flavor favorites, but in my house zingy lemon cupcakes are our top pick for celebrations.

Lemon Posset With Berries
Lemon posset is an easy, old-fashioned dessert made with the simplest of ingredients: cream, sugar, and lemon.
