I love lemon bars. I am so used to making them from a box that I thought they would be hard to make from scratch. But I can see from your recipe that it would be much easier than I though. I will be pinning and making these weekly this spring and summer for sure.

It is an easy recipe, but it didn't have that strong lemon tart flavor that other recipes have which is what I prefer.
