This afternoon, my husband walked in the door and I told him that we needed to get out for a bit. Cabin fever much? The weather is killing me. We hopped in the car and headed to the playground before a really delicious dinner. Recipe to be shared later.
I love anything lemon. Sweet, savory, lemon does it for me. These lemon bars are one of my favorite desserts on the planet and completely remind me of my mom. When I had my oldest son she came to my house to take care of us and these are the first thing that I asked her to make for me. I love them. They are easy to make, hold well, and freeze like a dream. I usually cut the squares pretty small and freeze half a batch for another time. I make these in my Cuisinart but you can easily make them by hand. That is what Martha would do. But as we all know, I am no Martha. Also, had a bunch of gorgeous Meyer Lemons laying around and wanted to use them up. They made these a little sweeter than I would have liked. If I were to use Meyer Lemons again, I would have definitely reduced the amount of sugar in the filling or cut it with some full strength lemon. I loved the bright yellow color that the Meyer lemons gave me, but these are supposed to be on the tart side.
I add the baking powder at the last second and give it a whirl right before I am about to pour the filling into the crust. The baking powder gives the top a bubbly sort of crust.. by admin 6 comments

You do this to me ALL of the time…I’m hungry and I see your blog and then I want it! I get inspired, think I will make them, copy the recipe and then just dream of having your baked goods! Thanks for always sharing!

Aw, snap! Those look delish. You need to publish a cookbook with all those mouth watering photos…

Lemon bars are my absolute favorite. They remind me of my grandmother. Thanks for the recipe. I second the cookbook idea. Your pictures are excellent and make me want to go make everything you post.

thanks Betsey! That is very nice of you to say. I promise you that these are DELICIOUS. And it is a good thing, because this little dude is trouble! This morning I found him walking around the house swigging an empty Corona that he pulled out of the recycling. Gross. Kinda funny, but gross. Then later, I found him helping himself to the side of one of the tiers of chocolate cake that I was cooling. Then at lunch he was mad that I would not give him another chocolate milk so he picked up his plate and threw it on the floor. Are we approaching the terrible twos? Nap time, I love you.

Grant and Clay can have a plate throwing party! Good thing he is adorable I decided that this year instead of the paper Dora the Explorer card that I would make the kid’s Valentine’s cards. I had so much fun making them that I thought that I would share them with you. I made these 5×7, but I am planning on making these wallet size. I am attaching the full size download at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! Tomorrow I will hopefully have some boy Valentine’s ready for you.
