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

Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️ But Summer is calling my name this week🐚☀️

But with overcast skies, weather in the 60’s, and no vacations planned until the end of August - it’s hard to pick up the call😅

While we didn’t have the best beach weather last While we didn’t have the best beach weather last weekend, we still managed to soak up some sun☀️🌊

The best part of any beach trip is showering after a long day in the water and throwing on your favorite sun dress with your fresh tan🤍 I am obsessed with this new one I snagged for only $35 - plus the perfect purse to match🐚

Genuinely if I have $1 for every time I’ve been told I “don’t belong in Western PA” - I’d have enough money to move to the southern city of my choosing😂 But seriously - I’ve gotten these comments since I was in middle school! 

I’ve heard it said PA is 10 years behind on fashion👀 I can confirm people don’t understand me or my Lorna Murray hat I bought back in 2022👒

Getting vulnerable for a second: I love creating content and blogging but photographing myself lately, especially on this trip, has been rough for my self-esteem. While curating this post I was second guessing even posting these pictures because I didn’t like the way my body looked. Over the past month I’ve been on a regimen of medications that have thrown my body through a loop have had me not feeling myself. Even a “healthy” diet and daily exercise can’t reverse the side effects I’m experiencing and it’s been hard for me to reconcile that. In this process I’ve been reminding myself I don’t look at others around me or people I follow online and analyze their bodies or looks. 

So this is your reminder that we’re overthinking ourselves more than others are thinking about us. And it’s easier said than done, but give yourself grace through all seasons of life🤍
