is my post today. I have been to the store already this morning. I went so early that I had to wait for a school bus loading kids. It was stopped right in front of the house here in Pekin that was built a few years ago by Extreme Makeover, the TV show. I know there is a handicapped child there so the wait was a little longer. If you will go to this link, you can read the story of why the house was built. http://www.pjstar.com/homepage/x398374077/Grys-family-of-Pekin-gets-home-makeover
I purchased fresh lemons today to make the cream cheese bars for my son so I need to really cut this short and get in the kitchen.
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.
Also, I have to have another mask for my c-pap so that will be brought by some time today. One nice thing about living in a larger city is I am just a few blocks from the company that delivers these. Wish me luck as I have had 3 nights in a row of little or no sleep.
I hope you all have a great day. Stay safe and be happy!!
