Lemon Bars

So, I finally got tired of making things filled with chocolate. I just felt like everything I had been making prior was so filling and rich. This made me decided I needed something light. What's light and delicious? Lemon bars! It helped that it was another request at Physical Therapy. So, instead of searching all over for a great lemon bar recipe I asked my mother if she had one because she has thousands of recipes. Of course she had a lemon bar one lying around! Let me tell you, it's a winner. This is one dessert I could eat every day and never tire of.
