Lemon Bars
"This is my grandmother's recipe. It brings back great memories whenever I think of them. She would pop these out of the freezer as soon as we came over and we'd dive into them! It's definitely not a diet food, which probably explains why I have never had a Lemon Bar match hers! They are truly the best!"

They're different from the traditional Lemon Bar recepies but very good! I'll definately make these again!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Florida and love it here. (We could do without the lovebugs and misquito's though...) My favorite pastime is just getting out of the house and doing something; seeing a game, going for a bike ride, or just going for a walk or reading outside. (I get sloth-like if I stay indoors too long). I love Cooks Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen and buy their magazines and cookbooks often.
