Lorie welcomes her readers to her blog Lemons + Zest. If they love to eat and appreciate delicious, simple recipes, then they are in the right place. When it comes to cooking these days, Lorie firmly believes that if it takes too long or requires too much work, then it's not for her.
Chasing around her son all day, Lorie needs recipes that are simple to toss together. She enjoys creating recipes that take little effort but are still very delicious and earn a thumbs-up from the family. Lorie started this blog during a challenging period of infertility with her husband as an outlet and hobby. Little did she know it would become her livelihood. They adopted the perfect baby boy in 2017, and he is the very best thing that has ever happened to them. Dinner is the hardest meal for Lorie to get on the table, so she creates no-nonsense dinner recipes the entire family will love.
For a big chunk of her life, Lorie had a pretty terrible relationship with food. She very rarely found joy in what she was eating because she was so worried about the way her body looked. In her 40s, Lorie has found peace with food and enjoys all of it. She can eat her favorite chocolate chip cookies and enjoy every single bite.
Readers will find food and recipes of all kinds on lemons + zest. Lorie loves breakfast and dessert the best, so they will find plenty of those recipes.
