finally the lemon bar recipe

Sorry I forgot about putting this recipe up a while ago, but here it is. Also don't hesitate to email me: heykitcat@yahoo.com if you want a recipe for some reason this doesn't let me know if people comment on my posts and I forget to check. ANYWAY heres the recipe I got from Meme for lemon bars:

CRUST

2 cups of flour

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

1 cup of butter softened

line a baking dish with foil

line the dish with the crust leaving about an inch of foil hanging over the sides

bake crust for 25 minutes at 350 degrees

FILLING

4 wisked eggs

1 1/2 white sugar (make sure you put the white sugar in the filling not the powdered sugar and vis versa)

1 table spoon of lemon peel

1/3 cup of lemon juice

1/4 cup of flour

pour onto crust and bake for 20 minutes

cut and sprinkle powdered sugar on top!

I think they turn out the best with fresh meyer lemons :)

pound cake!

When I was in Texas me and my Grandma also made a pound cake. Oh my god was it good. I loved it and it was easy as pie to make. It has loads of butter and sugar in it but hey thats what makes it good right? We made it for our little family brunch and I'm pretty sure everyone liked it...espically Luke who had two pieces. But I'm not really one to talk I had two also. I highly recommend making pound cake because like Grandma said you can do so much stuff with it. It can be anything from strawberry short cake to cake with nutella on it. So go make yourself a pound cake, let me tell you you wont be bored of eating it.

PASTA

Okay so I know this isn't really baking but I need to put it in my blog anyway. When I was in Texas me and my Grandma made pasta. I had never done it before but I'm so glad I did, it was DELICIOUS. The only ingredients in pasta are flour, and eggs, I was very surprised. The pasta was pretty labor intensive cranking it through the maker but it was well worth it. I kind of felt like an old italian woman...but its all good! Who knows maybe one day I'll have my own pasta shop instead of bakery?

chocolate chocolate chip cookies

So I'm kind of falling behind with this blog, but owell I'm updating it now! ANYWAY the other day my friend Shea came over and we decided we wanted to bake something, I didn't really have the patience to bake a cake and I didn't really want to have to eat all of it in 2 days (before going to Texas) so we made cookies. The cookies were chocolate chocolate chip cookies, they turned out pretty good a little over cooked. It was hard to tell if they were completely cooked or not so thats why they were a little hard. I got the recipe from 500 cookies cookbook. That cookbook has some good recipes but some are a little strange. Even though they were over cooked a tad they were still a hit between the Collison-Silverman and Wales family :)
