I’m going to be honest here and admit that these lemon bars were made months ago for Max’s baptism! I know, I know, I have been Miss Lagger McGee over here with my posts. What happened to Linda’s Love in the past two months? I’ve been very busy and stressed out with leaving my old job, graduating school, looking for a new job, and now leaving my new job. I won’t speak about it for two reasons: 1) Those of you who know me are probably sick of hearing abotu it, and 2) I’d like to leave painful memories behing
I’m kidding. Half kidding
I usually do bake more when I’m stressed, but it also can get pricey, so I’ve been laying low in that department. I’ve been baking actually, but haven’t had teh time to blog about it. I’ve also been making a lot of repeats like the S’mores cookies, since they are so easy and always such a hit.
But about these lemon bars! With summer approaching (when I was baking these) and now that it’s fully here, all I want to bake are citrusy desserts. I combined a few basic lemon bar recipes and made these. They tasted great, although I over baked them. Also, I repeated one of my first mistakes, which was to skimp on materials. Since I still don’t have a food processor, I made the shortbread part from hand. I’m not sure what exactly went wrong, but I think I didn’t incorporate the butter into my dough well enough. After I added the lemon filling and baked it, the lemon part didn’t stick very well to the bread part. So even though it tasted yummy, the lemon filling and bread separated almost every time. Who wants to donate to “Linda needs a awesome-tastic food processor” fund? Any takers? Why is it so quoet out there???
