Roasted Lemon Potatoes

I love potatoes.  The other adult in the house likes rice. I trump since I cook.  The little people like both.   

Even with the winter chill, my herbs and citrus are bountiful.  Nothing is better than walking outside to pick my ingredients.  Exciting gardening news for me, the little green house is up and filled with herbs, vegetables and flowers.
