It is lemon week!!!!!! I seriously look forward to this week every single year. It’s a little later in the year than I usually do it, but I couldn’t let this year go by with out a lemon week. We are starting off with lemon pie bars.
I love anything lemon! And my daughter now shares that same love for lemon. We just love its bright burst of flavor and we will take it any way we can get it. You seriously need to take some time this week to peruse the archives of my other fabulous lemon recipes. The lemon cupcakes are one of our favorites and I always get requests for them by others who have tasted them.
Today, I have an easy lemon pie bar for you. This is different from a regular lemon bar. This bar has a soft almost sugar cookie-like consistency as the base that encases luscious canned lemon pie filling. Then it all gets topped with a lemony sweet glaze.
