I have been craving lemon bars for a while, but no one in my family likes them, so I couldn't justify making a whole pan of them just for me. I wish you guys were my neighbors!! Well, today I had an excuse: I was taking dinner to a friend and thought "hey, I could make those tasty lemon bars I've been craving, and not have to eat the whole pan myself." So, there you have it. I made them today and they are delish. I probably could have eaten the whole pan myself. I used this easy recipe from Paula Deen. I don't know if any of you ever watch any of her shows or not, but I love her - all of her food is real - (and it's real good!) So, if you're having that summer craving for a lemon bar - try this one.

how important is fresh lemon juice? I have all the other ingredients and those sound good. I have the lemon juice you buy in the bottle you know, would that be as good? Why are you cooking in your house w/o air conditioning????
ReplyDeleteI love lemon bars. They are the best!! So yummy & tasty!! YUMMY GOOD!
ReplyDeleteFresh Lemon Juice?? It was fresh - fresh from the bottle!! Maybe it would be a stronger lemon flavor if it was actually fresh from the lemon, but I say the bottled stuff works fine - it did for me!!
ReplyDeleteI know, I shouldn't be cooking in the nasty heat, but I can't help it . . . I seriously think it's an addiction. Maybe I need help.
Moesha - I'll have to make you some next time you come this way, or next time I make a trip that way . . . .
I'm not a big fan of lemon bars but my dad and my dh love them. So I make the packaged kind every once in a while. I will have to try this recipe next time.
