"I had to go to a potluck, but our pipes had frozen, so I needed a recipe that didn't require a lot of dishes. This one was so easy, and everyone raved! Shaving the cold butter to distribute evenly over the top is brilliant. It’s nice to find a dump cake recipe that uses fresh berries.”

"These lemon bars couldn't be easier, and are very good. I like how the cookie dough crust isn't as crumbly as a traditional graham cracker crust. The sugar cookie is a good match to the lemon. I used extra lemon zest and extract for lots of lemon flavor. These are a winner!”
-Ms B.
