Recipe Lemon Blueberry Bars

This Recipe, Lemon Blueberry bars, is a real favorite in my home. I grew up surrounded by groves, and working in my father’s wholesale Nursery. Those memories stuck hard in my taste buds…and I end up reaching for that sweet/sour bite of Lemons when I cook…. and especially when bake. That tartness freshens up the sweet… making it easier to eat more and more (and more…. ) So, it almost goes without saying that I love Lemon Bars…. gooey, tart, sweet. mmmmmm

And because I love Lemon Bars so much, I seldom bake them. But why? you ask… if you love them soooo much!

Well… it’s because I’d just sit in the corner with the pan and eat them …. ALL.

no spoon, no fork, no napkin

Just me with my arms wrapped around the pan of Lemon Bars (scary look on my face).

So, today I’m at home with a somewhat sick kid (you know what I mean….my youngest shuffles slowly into the kitchen, and in a very weak voice says, “mom, cough cough… I’m sick… cough cough… can I stay home…”) so I cave, and she stays home. After a few hours of Sponge Bob and Board Games, and a MIRACULOUS RECOVERY, it was time for mom to have a treat. I deserved lemon bars, and since I had some blueberries left over from the scones… I thought I’d add them to the Lemon Bars.

Holy Moley!!

Lemon Blueberry Bars are AMAZING! They are everything that make Lemon Bars wonderful… tart, sweet, decent goo factor… with the added bonus of Blueberry swirled through the lemon.

I’ll be over here in the corner… you’ll have to make your own. (I’ve included Step-by-Step Instructions… this is easy, I promise)

enjoy!
