Alright so here goes the first recipe, I decided to go with a simple recipe but one that has always brought me comfort.  

Lemon Bars

This recipe takes anywhere from 25 to 35 minutes depending on how your oven works.  Since mine is an electric it takes a lot longer than a gas stove to cook food so it takes the full cooking time for me.
The recipe makes 9 lemon bars.

First preheat your oven to 350.

 While your oven is heating start the crust for this you will need:

1/2 cup butter or margarine softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Cream the butter and sugar, then beat in the flour until blended.  Now if you're a big fan of lemon like I am go ahead and add the optional lemon juice and blend it in,  if not go ahead and just leave it out. 
Now press the crust into an 8x8 pan pushing it up the sides about an inch put it in the oven and bake for   15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown.


Now for the filling, you will need:

3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Beat the filling ingredients together until light and frothy, pour it into the ready crust and bake for 10-15 minutes.  

When the bars are done let them cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. 

Enjoy
