Lemony Lemon Bars

I heart all things lemon. On any given day you will find at least three lemons in our fruit basket. I promise, come check it out.. you will see three lemons sitting in my basket right now!! They are so refreshing and tart and deliciously wonderful. I could seriously eat them on their very own. Wow! Apparently I am having some sort of lemon love affair right now.. don't tell Jakob!

Let's get on with this shall we? Okay! Lemon bars are a new love of mine. I was never fond of their gelatinous gooey texture and to the honest, the fluorescent yellow color scared me a bit. That was until I stumbled upon these babies. I have found a yummy simple lemon bar recipe that tastes just right, not too sweet, not too tart.
