Author's note:
My mother had some good recipes and most of them she didn't write down. I just learned from experience while watching her when she would let me in the kitchen! These Lemon Bars are a tradition in my family at Christmas time. I am always asked to bring them. The recipe can be doubled for larger crowds. This is easy and kid friendly. Great for fundraisers and kids treats. Also for those who like bite size cakes or pies. Can be used for Christmas/Holiday desserts or at Bridal Showers. Bring as an extra dessert for those who would rather not eat cake.
Editor's note: Lemon: is a citrus fruit that is used to make lemonade and other fabulous recipes. Often the term "Lemon!" is used to describe a faulty product! We also use the phrase "making lemonade" to express entrepreneurial abilities and our triumph over adversity. As I use to tell my long time friend, when life hands you lemons, you have a choice....make lemonade or bring out the tequila with salt. Now we can add, or let's make Lemon Bars.
