How to Make These Delicious Lemon Bars – Featuring Caloosa WaterWear

June 10, 2021 · In: Lifestyle, Recipes

Summer is here! Am I the only one who has noticed an extreme fruit trend in stores? I love it! Everywhere I turn, from clothing to homewares, I am noticing the trend of fruit prints and designs (especially citrus)! Even our small business friends, Caloosa WaterWear, have some gorgeous citrus designs that are perfect for summer.

Today I wanted to share a little summer recipe with y’all: a refreshing lemon bar recipe! Up here in Pennsylvania we don’t really see these a lot, so I’m excited to share them with friends and family. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! Read until the end to learn how you can win the apron and dish towel featured in this post, graciously given by our friends at Caloosa WaterWear. Cheers to them for sponsoring today’s post and the giveaway!

This recipe essentially has two parts: the crust and the filling. Here is what you’ll need for each.

For the Crust:

  • 1/2 c. of granulated sugar
  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter (1/2 pound) – room temperature
  • 2 c. of flour
  • a pinch of salt (1/8 teaspoon to be exact)

For the Filling:

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 c. flour
  • lemon zest – do this to your liking. I used 1 tablespoons’ worth (2 lemons), but you can add another tablespoon
  • 1 c. lemon juice – I recommend squeezing your own (this will take anywhere from 3-5 lemons)

*tip: grate the exterior of your lemons for the zest then juice them after for the juice!*

Optional Garnishes:

  • powdered sugar (highly recommended)
  • mint leaf and blueberries (not necessary but adds some fun color)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350*F

Step 2

Create the crust. First, combine the butter and sugar to create a cream that is fluffy and light. Then add in the flour and salt; if you’re using a mixer, have the setting on low. It will begin to make a dough-like consistency. Once you’ve achieved this texture, take it out and place on to a well-floured surface in a ball shape. Take a 9″ x 13″ x 2″ baking dish, lightly grease it, and flatten the dough until it is even throughout the pan. Chill for 15 minutes.

Then, bake the crust in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool before adding the lemon filling.

Step 3

Create the filling. Whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Pour the mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350*F, or until the filling sets. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting.

Step 4

Cut to your liking – squares or triangles are typical. Garnish with powdered sugar and anything else you would like, then enjoy!

I hope y’all enjoyed this little recipe post! These turned out absolutely delicious! I am by no means a baker or chef, so if I can make these, so can you. And how cute do these look accompanied by Caloosa WaterWear’s fun apron, dish towel, and accessories?

If you’d like to win a matching apron and dish towel of your own, be sure to check today’s post on my Instagram! It is super easy to enter. The giveaway ends Sunday 6/13 at 11:59pm EST – so be sure to enter soon!

Cheers!

xoxo

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫
*as a Disney annual passholder*
(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
