Oh! I almost forgot about dessert!
I picked up a box of Meyer lemons at Costco, mostly because they were so pretty and smelled good. I wasn't really sure what I planned to do with them. Then Stephanie at Stephmodo posted about lemon bars. I love the inspiration I receive from the blogs I follow, and Stephmodo is definitely a great source of all kinds of inspiration!
I made these on Saturday, and they didn't last long. They are delicious! Mine didn't turn out quite as pretty as Stephanie's - I'll have to ask her secret, or perhaps it's just her excellent photography skills - but they tasted awesome. My husband and I kept hitting the pan for more.
Thankfully, my new year's resolutions do not include a diet of any sort, and I still have quite a few lemons left, so I might be making these again this weekend!
I made meyer lemon bars on Sunday... my husband also keeps heading back for more :)
ReplyDeleteBut I think I want to make them with regular lemons as I have decided that I like my lemon bars with a touch more tart - in your face lemon flavor.
Tara - I totally get that. I love the tart lemon flavor too, and I actually increased the lemon juice/zest and decreased the sugar a bit when I made mine.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! I made a lemon tart before Christmas and it turned out ok. I might try these as I love baking with lemons:)
