No fooling…

It is cold this morning at 23 degrees and the sun is shining brightly.  I am up early and have already made the lemon cream cheese bars to freeze for my son who is coming to see me this week.  I have posted this recipe just about each time my son comes to visit.  These are his very favorite.  I have also arranged a personalized birthday cake for him.

Posting the recipe again for the 100th time..

Lemon Cream Cheese Bars

These lemon bars are a great favorite of my son. Easy to make too!


Step 1.
Mix 1 box yellow cake mix with
1/3 cup oil and
1 egg
Mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup. Pat remaining mixture into a 13X9 ungreased pan. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. Meanwhile do
Step 2.


Beat 8 ounce package of softened cream cheese with
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar and
1 egg until light and fluffy.


Spread over baked crumb mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumbly mixture over top. Bake 15 minutes longer. Do NOT overbake. Chill completely and cut into squares.

I have an appointment this morning for a haircut so I will cut this short.

Do stay safe and be happy!!

  16. I don't know if I will take a whack at baking those lemon bars.
    I have those trees in your header picture in my front yard.
    I too got a hair cut today. I just said, "Cut it short" and he did. It's the complete opposite of when I was young and had my hair long. Of course I don't have as much hair as I used to.
