Hi! I'm Kaylee, the recipe developer and photographer behind Lemons and Basil, I am not only thrilled beyond words to partner with Lindsay and her AMAZING blog, but absolutely honored! I have only been apart of this online blogging community/family for about a year, but am loving every second of it.

I am an Interior Designer by trade and love what I get to do for a living and the clients I work with. Lemons and Basil has been a lovely and welcomed creative outlet, outside of design, that has given me the platform to share my love for healthy eating with others {not to mention, it helps keep my own eating habits somewhat in check}! If you'd like to read a little more about me, you can do so here!

Enough jabbering, lets get to the food! Here is one of my favorites, a Green Power Salad with Roasted Veggies and this amazing Balsamic Almond and Turmeric Dressing! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
