These are my favorite, Sarah! I can't make them because I eat the whole pan by myself too. You should have seen Grandma eat when my mom made lemon bars the other day! Lots of lip smacking. :)
I LOVE lemon and these look divine. I may have to wait until we have a family function to make them since I'd eat the whole pan myself and I'm already limited on my wardrobe:)
Sure looks yummy. I LOVE lemon anything. I thought it looked so good I shared it on my blog. Thanks!!
Speaking of Grandma and lemon bars, my Mom went over to get her out of bed the other day, and the first thing she asked is if Mom had brought her any lemon bars!!
Yum! Make some and mail them to me! Ha ha. I was just thinking about you the other day. A year ago you were here visiting Jen. Do you want to come see me? I'm SO lonely!
