I think I made lemon bars at some point in the past... Way, waaay too long ago.
Finally, I did it again! I'd been browsing Pinterest for good lemon bar recipes and found a couple of interesting ones. I found inspiration in a few, combined their ideas, substituted things I didn't have or want, cut way back on the sugar and got to work!
Apart from getting annoyed about zesting three lemons, these bars were easy to make and they turned out great. Honestly, I'm glad I cut back so much on the sugar, because I really didn't need any more of it.
There's this one little issue though, I kinda, sorta, completely forgot to take pictures of the finished product. That is, until after I wrapped up most of it for the freezer and only had the sides left. Oops!
So, sorry for the less-attractive pictures, but you'll have to forgive me and trust me that they are well worth the trouble of zesting a couple of lemons.
