La La Lemon Bars

I have a serious problem with sweets so when I came across this recipe I knew I was in trouble. I made it anyway and so glad I did. Total YUM-O! I would like all of you to join me this Holiday Season in adding a few pounds to your mid-section so to help start you off, here's my recipe to the BEST Lemon Bars ever! Enjoy.

CAUTION: This pan can easily be polished off in one evening while watching your favorite TV show. Don't say I didn't warn you.

CRUST:
Cream together 1 cup butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Add ½ tsp salt and 2 cups flour. Mix until you have a nice, firm dough.

Pat into a greased 9 x 13 glass dish. Bake at 350 for about 18 minutes. Meanwhile make the filling.

FILLING:
Mix 4 slightly beaten eggs, 2 cups sugar, ½ tsp baking powder, ¼ cup flour, ¼ cup lemon juice, and grated rind of one lemon (I didn’t have a lemon on hand so I omitted this step and it still turned out fabulous).

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar, cool and enjoy!

Carriage Crossing

There's a great outdoor Promenade close by thats all decorated for Christmas. We thought it to be the perfect opportunity to take Carmen there and get some pics taken. It was very cold and windy!

Flower girl

I'm not sure what happened but Carmen used to love taking baths. The past couple of bath times have not been fun for any of us. She's ok until she gets her head wet. Maybe she got soap in her eye awhile back and remembers. Who knows, but isn't she cute in her flower towel wrap?
