Lemon Bars Recipe

Once in a while I'll bake lemon bars.  I usually use a recipe a former co-worker gave to me, but I decided to try out a new recipe recently.

I found "The Best Lemon Bars" recipe on Allrecipes.com - it very well could be "the best."

It was tart, yet sweet, and lusciously lemony!
