Sweets for Mom - and one last reminder!

What desserts remind you of springtime?  Most people would say lemony ones.  And I agree.

One of my favorite desserts to make is lemon bars.  They're a crowd pleaser, and a little goes a long way...one small bar is like a big burst of springtime in your mouth.  Plus, they're pretty! :)  It's such a simple and easy sweet treat to make, and the ingredients are usually on hand.

Make these for your Mom this weekend - she'll love you even more than she does today.

And of course, one last reminder - please check out the goodies up for auction on Bloggers Bake For Hope and bid before Midnight tonight.  Get some sweet treats delivered right to your doorstep while helping a GREAT cause!

Lemon Bars
from Allrecipes

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar, divided
2 1/4 cups AP flour, divided
4 eggs
2 lemons, juiced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a bowl, blend butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar.  Press mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 pan.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

In another bowl, combine remaining flour and sugar.  Whisk in eggs and lemon juice.  Pour over the baked crust.  Bake for another 20 minutes.
