My lavish partner Lisa has 2 of the most
wonderful lemon trees in her backyard.
YES, lemons grow very well here
in the desert ... who knew!
So when she delivered me a bag-full ...
well, ...when life hands you lemons,
make lemon bars of course!
This is one of my favorite recipes!
Made with a full cup of lemon juice
& several tablespoons of zest...
sweet . tart . delicious
