Lemon Bars

One of the perks of having a lemon tree in our yard is always having fresh lemons! 🍋 My daughter found this lemon bar recipe in an old family cookbook from Chicago. We swapped the regular flour for Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour, and they came out delicious. Definitely not low calorie, but definitely worth it!
