Welcome to my blog, Art and Lemons. My name is Nikki Gardner and I’m a writer and photographer obsessed with good stories and food. Here, you’ll find straightforward vegetarian recipes made with whole and natural ingredients, often sourced close to home. I hope you leave here inspired to tell or story or two and to make a meal for someone you love.
I live in the hills of western Massachusetts where there’s plenty of farm fresh produce to keep me busy along with my husband, David, and our son, Luke. To contact me about about writing or photography assignments or to say hello, send me a note.
Thanks for stopping by.
