Thursday Recipe – Lemon Berry Bars & Perfect No Cook Dinner
I know I usually post a photo to entice you….but I am going to leave you in suspense (or you can scroll down–but you shouldn’t -it will ruin it for you!!)
Lemon Berry Bars
Preheat 350 Grease a 9 inch square pan
For crust
Beat 1 cup softened butter with 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar, 1 T ice water, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat until mixture forms a ball. Put in fridge for 10 minutes
Bake crust until golden and firm about 15 mins Let cool completely Reduce the oven temp to 325
Spread 3/4 cup of jam evenly over crust
In a bowl whisk together 6 lg eggs, 2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup lemon juice, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder Pour over crust. Bake 20-25 mins Let cool completely
First let me say I a a genius! I was out of powdered sugar so I googled and made my own!! sugar and cornstarch in the mixer = powder sugar!!
And now for the photo…………………………..
I am also a genius because I left it on the stove and my dogs ate it. I bet it was good.
But this is what we are having for dinner AGAIN tonight–too hot to cook and no time for dinner prep once again!!
Hummus and Tabouli Pita Sandwiches
I usually make my own hummus and tabouli but sometimes I buy it!
I cut up tomatoes, onions and pickles (yes lots of pickles make this soooo tasty!!) and put out sprouts and lettuce. These are usually big and messy and really drippy by the end so we have started wrapping them in foil (and running out the door to eat them in the yard) so it’s almost like we have take out from The Pita Hut!
I would love to hear others no cook, low cook, easy summertime dinner ideas!!
