Lemon Bars.
June 2, 2008 in bars
Not long ago I mentioned that I have myself pretty convinced that I hate lemons in my chicken piccata post. I figured out that it’s because everywhere I go people try to put lemons in my sweet tea and I don’t care what anyone says, lemon totally ruins sweet tea.

This past week I found myself with a bag of lemons. They were on sale. I just couldn’t help myself. It was time for me to get over my lemon thing.
I’ve never had a lemon bar but I figured it was a safe place to start. These were delicious. The super tart lemon with the sweet pastry crust was perfect. I’m almost ashamed to admit that I ate the entire pan. Almost.
