In our backyard resides a prolific lemon tree. We are forever trying to find new ways to incorporate these lovely yellow fruits into our culinary endeavors so that none go to waste.

I’m just going to go ahead and admit that I am completely obsessed with Royal Baby Drama. What is there NOT to be obsessed about, that’s what I want to know. HELLO, we are talking the future ruler of England. And there is really no such thing as too much Kate Middleton, is there? I’m kind of over all the haters who troll Facebook leaving a bunch of “who cares” comments. Like…what do they suggest we care about? Minecraft? Those weird cat memes that are everywhere?

Homemade Gooey Butter Cake with Powdered Sugar Before I travel to a city I like to learn a little about the history, customs and, most importantly, favorite foods.

These bars are equal parts puckery lemon curd punctuated with a generous amount of lemon zest, and crisp poppy-seed shortbread – twice baked to avoid a soggy bottom.

This recipe originally came from my mom, Elisabeth. She always made excellent lemon bars when I was growing up. Mom loves anything lemony and tart and I’m just the same. I’m so lucky that she is always so willing to share her recipes with me. We make these at the bakery with a torched meringue topping for fun. It’s worth getting a small kitchen blowtorch to raise the bar of presentation in your home baking.
