Lemon Bars

I love lemon bars, but I don't like baking them for some reason.  However, having recently bought a huge bag of lemons from our local warehouse club, I decided to make Lemon Bars.  Although the last time I made lemon bars I thought they were really good, I used The Pioneer Woman's recipe this time.

The end result was indeed delicious, yet a lot more tart than the recipe I last used since this recipe requires more lemon juice.

So if you like tart, you'll love these lemon bars!
