Love & Lemons Cooking Club – March!

Join the Love & Lemons Cooking Club Challenge this month! It's easy to enter, and one lucky winner will receive a prize. Find all the details below.

Our Cooking Club is a fun way to celebrate the Love & Lemons community of readers. The concept is super simple—each month, I choose a recipe. You make it, and you leave a comment on the recipe’s blog post. At the end of the month, I randomly select one winner to receive a prize.

I love the sense of community that comes from so many people cooking one recipe each month. We’re kicking off our March challenge today with our breakfast casserole recipe, and I hope you’ll join in the fun. Here’s how it works:

March’s Recipe: Breakfast Casserole

When Jack’s parents were in town a couple weekends back, I made this breakfast casserole for brunch one morning. It was such a hit, and I loved the leftovers so much for breakfast the next day, that I thought I’d spotlight it as this month’s cooking club pick!

Filled with potatoes, veggies, and cheese, it’s hearty, flavorful, and satisfying.

If you have a spring brunch coming up this month, this recipe would be a perfect main dish. It’s also a great breakfast to prep ahead for busy mornings. Slices keep for about 5 days in the fridge and reheat nicely in the microwave.

  • If you’re vegan: Make this tofu scramble instead! It’s also a great brunch main or make-ahead breakfast.

Last Month’s Recipe

Last month, we made French toast and vegan French toast for a cozy February breakfast. You all went all out with the toppings—it was so fun to hear what combinations you tried. Here were a few that sounded particularly delicious:

  • From Christine: caramelized bananas
  • From Shelly: homemade peach syrup and bananas, pecans, and maple syrup
  • From Rosemary: Greek yogurt, strawberry jam, and maple syrup
  • From Anita: caramel and spice sauce with sliced bananas

Many of you added extra spices to the egg mixture too. Cardamom, nutmeg, ginger… I’m 100% using ginger when I make this recipe next.

Thanks for cooking along, friends! Here are some of your photos:

And congrats to our winner, Janti:
