It tasted pretty good the first day, though make sure to grate the lemon rind very fine - there were some bitter large pieces in mine that didn't soften in the mixture...however, it never really set how it was supposed to, I had put it in the freezer before serving, but then after I switched it to the refrigerator to set fully overnight it was really soft and runny the next day and the taste was not as good. I also added two tablespoons of turbinado sugar. Maybe I need to experiment with this one further...

Was about ready to give up on this recipe for lack of finding blueberries, then at Costco I found exactly what I wanted, & these bars went together quickly! Loved the combo of cheeses used in them, & the fresh blueberries were wonderful! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook Tag]

I love this site -- recipes for the real world and the people who live in it!

<br>I'm currently an at-home mom and a busy volunteer with three children. I'm encouraged by the number of recipes on recipezaar that will help me expand my children's palate beyond chicken and noodles.

<br>I am eager to reduce the sugar my kids consume and increase the amount of fiber. I've been experimenting with substituting whole wheat flour where I can with some positive results. I look forward to discovering more recipes that can be modified so that I can sneak more whole grain into my family's diet!
