Welcome!!

I'm undertaking something that has been a long time dream...to share my love of cooking with others.  Food that is cooked with love surpasses the taste of any other food!

I hope that you will check back often.  I am planning on sharing recipes, reviewing local restaurants, doing step by step instructions on my favorite home cooked meals!

Come on in friend...pour yourself your favorite beverage and stay awhile!

Our pastor loves lemon bars. So I made a batch of these to share with him and a few samples for us. YUMMY!! 9x9 pan lined with tinfoil to get them out easier.

Bake Sale Lemon bars

INGREDIENTS

Crust:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar

Filling:

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. To make crust: Mix together the butter, 1 1/3 cups flour and 1/4 cup sugar with a fork until crumbly. Press into an 8 inch square pan and bake for 20 minutes. Crust will look white. Do not brown!
3. Combine the eggs, 3/4 cup of sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until well mixed. Pour over pre-baked crust.
4. Return to oven and bake an additional 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Let bars cool before cutting.
