Last week, we got the chance to visit with a dear friend that we hadn’t seen for a few years. We had a lovely time reminiscing about old times and talking over future plans. We are truly grateful for such a sincere friendship that has stood the test of time and distance. Genuine friendship is a gift from God and we were blessed by our time together.
For dinner that night, we had a simple menu: Chicken Caesar Salad, Artisan Bread, and Lemon Bars for dessert. This is one of those recipes that is NOT low fat, low sugar, or low calorie. But, dessert is not supposed to be health food, right?
Lemon Bars
Crust:
2 cups all purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
Stir together all three ingredients and press into a greased 9X13 pan. Bake at 350˚ for 20 minutes, or until slightly golden.
Filling:
2 cups white sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. salt
4 eggs
6 Tbsp. lemon juice
Whisk together all ingredients and pour over crust. Return to oven and bake at 325˚ for 20-25 minutes or until set. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into bars.

Alison,
ReplyDeleteWe made these a few weeks ago and I plan to make them again for Bible study at our house tonight. We have added several new family favorites to our breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert lineup because of meals shared with you and your family or through the blog. We miss and love you guys.
