I love pancakes so I’m always interested in new ways of making them.

Lemons are one of those foods I like to have on hand in the kitchen to use as a quick, zesty flavor additive for chicken, veggies, tea, and, of course, ice water. They are packed with fiber and vitamin C, which makes the health benefits through the roof. Some specialists also believe that lemons aid in the prevention of kidney stones.
