First Anniversary Video, Lemon Bars, and Special Guests!
Lemon Bars on Southern Plate from Christy SouthernPlate.com on Vimeo.

Recipe is below in this post!
I’m so very excited about this post! I hope you’ll watch it and comment below! This is my first ever, full video tutorial for Southern Plate. To make it even more special, it includes two very special guests. The first is Terri, the reader who gave me the Dixie Cornbread recipe. For the other surprise guest (who is also a reader!) you’ll have to watch the video.
An interesting thing to note is that I had just met Terri for the first time the day before we made this. Living proof that I don’t meet a stranger! We had emailed and talked on the phone before but never actually physically met.
Every now and then I’ll be out and someone will recognize me from the website (which always shocks and thrills me!) and ask “Are you Christy Jordan?” The conversation then immediately goes to “I just feel like I know you!“. Well, if you read Southern Plate, you DO know me, the fact that we’ve never met is just a technicality. Fact is, if you are a Southern Plate reader, you’re a friend and I’m always thrilled for a chance to get to meet more of my friends.
I had this rare opportunity a few weeks back when Terri came all the way from Pennsylvania for a visit. We had such a wonderful weekend with her and her daughter, Amanda. Time flew by. It seemed they arrived and then left, leaving me in a cloud of dust and wishing for more time. The kids are still asking when they are coming back and I’m wondering, too! (hint, hint to Terri).
While here, we wanted to do something special to commemorate Southern Plate’s anniversary so the day after they arrived, we did this cooking tutorial video. You can tell how much fun we had by the intermission! I have a bad habit of singing in my house. I’m always singing something and barely even notice. The morning after Terri arrived I was in the kitchen just a singing away and when Terri showed up, a song came to mind and I went right into it, wondering if she’d pick up at the right spot, but kinda knowing she would! Sure ’nuff, Terri came in right on time and we finished my solo as a duet! I thought a replay of that song would make for a great intermission. I’m telling ya, if you live your life with silliness and laughter, and throw in an occasional song, you’ll go far! Of course even if ya don’t, you’ll still have a heck of a lot more fun! Apologies to any Hee-Haw fans we might scar for life with our rendition of that famous song!
I hope you enjoy this video as much as we did!
Lemon Bars
Crust:
- 2 C all purpose flour, sifted
- 1 C butter or margarine, softened
- 1/2 C Confectioner’s sugar, sifted
Sift together flour and confectioner’s sugar. Cut in butter until mixture clings together. Press into 9×13 inch dish. Bake at 350 for twenty five minutes or until lightly browned.
Filling:
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2tsp baking powder
- 2 C granulated sugar
- 4 T Confectioner’s sugar
- 1/3 C lemon juice
- 1/2 C flour
Combine and beat eggs, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Sift flour and baking powder; stir into egg mixture. Pour over baked crust. Bake at 350 for fifteen minutes or until slightly browned and set. Remove from oven. Cool and sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Cut into bars.
To welcome Terri and Amanda to Bountiful, the kids and I made some signs. The kids painted big poster boards on the back porch that morning and we staked those up in the yard. Brady’s sign said “Welcome to our BIG home!” and Katy’s had a beautiful picture of a sun and flower on it.
My signs were reminiscent of the old Burma Shave campaigns, which I am an avid fan of. Back in the day Burma Shave started placing these signs as an advertising campaign for their shaving cream and they became hugely popular. They would place a series of signs (usually six) in sequential order set a ways apart so that each sign could be read and then the car full of people waited anxiously for the next. Imagine the glee of weary travelers upon spotting the first! “I see Burma-shave signs up ahead!”. They were very clever and funny and the sixth sign was always the Burma-Shave name. I have an entire book of every one ever written and just love them.
Here are a few of my favorites:
Ben met Anna
What a hit!
Neglected Beard
Ben-Anna split
Burma-Shave
Slow down, Pa!
Sakes Alive
Ma’s missed signs
Four
and Five!
Burma-Shave
I proposed
to Ida
Ida refused
Ida won
My Ida If Ida used
Burma-Shave
Dyna doesn’t
Treat him
right
But if he’d shave
Dyna-mite!
Burma-Shave
They also did several as safe driving campaigns which served as excellent advertising for them as well.
I love this one:
Past
Schoolhouses
Take it slow
Let the little
Shavers grow
Burma-Shave
I had a point here, didn’t I? Oh, back to my signs. You see, Terri is from Georgia and she has been missing her home and her family there something fierce. I think that’s what got her started reading Southern Plate, remembrances of the place she calls home. I was so excited for her to be back (she went on to visit family in Georgia as well) so I made these little signs for her and had them going up the walkway to the front door when she arrived.
~grins~
Note: Just in case you wonder, “Shut yo mouth!” is not a negative thing in the south. Its part of our humor. Like if someone takes a bite of one of your fresh, homemade biscuits they might say “This is the best biscuit I’ve ever tasted!”. To which the cook might blush and say “Aww, shut yo mouth!”. There are other cases where it would be used also, but it’s always said good naturedly. If it sounds otherwise, its just another way that we’re weird. 
But Southerners like being weird so it’s all good.

I love lemon bars. I noticed the DG flour right because we’ve used it before ourselves not as much anymore because Dollar General is a dangerous store to take a 2 year old to due to all the toys. I also think we have the same measuring cups.
Great minds think (and shop) alike!!
Totally with ya on the Dollar general thing! We have a Dollar General Market though and I just love that place! Like a Super Wal Mart, only you get out faster! hehe
HAAAAAAAAAAPY Aniver-sary!
Wow Christy Lou…(Or my special pet name for you, Stinkerbelle)
I can’t believe we’ve known each other for a year. Time flies when you’re having fun. I only wish we lived closer together so you could call and yell “Come help me goofus!” and of course, I would. Ya know why? Cause you is my Sistah!
Honestly, I wish you were my blood sister but as it turns out, you are my sister of the heart, which is just as good if not better.
I thank God for you, your friendship, your love and your pestering… oh yeah, and not laughing when I tell you my latest cooking mistake… at least not laughing to ME! HA!
Congrats on one year.. here’s to many more. May the Lord bless you, Ricky and the kids.
~hugs Bill~
You know I love ya, Bill. Think I’m gonna trade in my rl brother for you ~snickers~. You have the same name, anyway.
Thank you for everything, absolutely everything. Only you know how much that entails!
Bless your heart!
Love ya,
Christy
yummers, gotta see if I have powdered sugar I need to try these
Carm
Hey there my little sweet potato! (Y’all, that is one of her handles somewhere, I’m not getting fresh with dear carmen here! lol).
If you don’t have powdered sugar just gimme a holler and I’ll bring over a cup!!!
Gratefully,
Christy
Happy Anniversary Christy! The video was awesome!! Great job to Terri and Bill as well. I love Lemon Bars and can’t wait to make these again. It’s been too long!! Wishing you many more anniversaries!!
Alisha
Oh, Alisha…thank you ever so much for the “great job”! We, the adults and kids, had a ball filming, eating, and planning. The out-takes woulda been amusing too, methinks. What a wonderful, warm Southern Lady that Christy is!! Puu-leeeze make these lemon bars, right away, and share some with somebody! They are amazing, refreshing, and deli-SHISH. I almost fell to the floor eatin’ them thar bars. Hope to meet you one day @ SP mtg.
~Claps, squeals, and runs in place~
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I don’t know where to start! Best Wishes on your first anniversary and many , many more are wished for you and yours. It has been a remarkable year for you and Bountiful is the icing on your cake. I enjoyed the video but have to say that I was just a bit surprised at your voice. As I read your site I am always mentally giving you a very heavy southern accent. I live in SE Ohio close to West Virginia and some here have quite the “hillbilly’ accent. The lemon bars are a classic here and doesn’t the powdered sugar just look like snow-they just seem “cool” to me and the mint sprig is the perfect topper. Bill Gent came through with a lovely rendition of the anniversary song. I am going to go check his blog and volunteer to be another sister of the heart.
Hey Elaine!
Eeeeek, I’ve always hated my voice. I’ve always thought I sounded like a man. Which is fine – if you are a man.
As far as accents go, I don’t give it much thought when talking. I was born and raised in Alabama by parents and grandparents who were born and raised in Alabama so I figure thats about as authentic as it gets! I can make it thicker if I want to try to get things done ~winks~ a’la Scarlett O’Hara.
Most actors and actresses doing a Southern accent end up with what (to us) is a humorous parody, even though they think it sounds pretty good.
Thank you so much for reading! I’m sure Bill will adopt ya!
Gratefully,
Christy
Of course I will adopt ya Elaine!
Good-I need a brother. I went to your blog and it was delightful. You are quite the wit!
Oh yes, I love to do a fake movie stah Suthin’ akseeyent!
Why yayus, we kin all sound lahk Julia Roberts in Steeyull Magnoyliyahs! Lawd knows she wus a southrun guhl bowun ayund brayuhd, but she didn’t really tawk like that neithuh!
On a serious note, I have a dear friend (and reader) who is from New York and I am working on a New York Accent! I can say several things so far that I think are pretty on the spot! ~giggles~
I know how to say Boston like a native!! Instead of Baw-sten” like I normally say it!
Oh dear-my comment was long and I still forgot to tell you that I remeber Burma shave signs in my area too and as kids we thought they were great fun. It was a very clever ad campaign.
LOVE LOVE LOVE reading about Burma-Shave signs! Don’t you just hate that our younguns miss out on ‘em?
Happy Anniversary Christy! Great video! Now I need to make those lemon bars!
Thank you so much, Sandy!
Love the video.. just came inside from working out in the yard and its gonna be 100 in Sapulpa Ok today… and so as an old person we are supposed to stay inside… I had to pick some blackberries and mow this morning… so now I have had my bath,,, from being outside and watched the video and just love it…. and think I might make these lemon bars (is this recipe in the cook book I have,, I must look before printing off)save a tree….. but I will wait til tonight as I don’t want to heat up the house right now.. haha the dogs and I are going to watch tv for a while in the cool living room and maybe read or crochet…well the dogs wont’ read or crochet maybe, hahahaha… so “shut yo mouth” yes lord a mercy them lemon bars look good and the video is just wonderful to hear you talk and watch you cook girl…
Love like ya was mine..
jo in Oklahoma…
Hey Jo!
I cannot tell you how warm your comment made me feel. I feel like I was out there with you picking blackberries and watching you cut the grass (I’ll move the limbs out of the way for ya). You are so good to me. If I’m lucky, maybe I’ll get to meet you, too, someday! Sure would be a welcome treat!
Love you, too!
Gratefully,
Christy
P.S. Its so nice to feel loved!
Ok girl, your first video, was a success. Good job. And what better
recipe to use than those delicious Lemon Bars. When Terri went to take her bite, I think I bit along with her.
Hope you will have many more of these little video’s, helps us to see exactly what how to do things.
Have a great day!
Trixie……you have NO idea how delicious that first bite was…….I had to be “cool” on camera, like the lady my mama taught me to be. It was hard being me that day ~grins~ having to sing, eat, nod and smile. whew. I gotta go sit down now.
Thank you so much, Trixie!! I sure did love having Terri here.
Great video! Lemon Bars are one of my favorites, and I didn’t have a recipe for them, so yay!! Happy anniversary my dear, and keep up the amazing work! You have a long line of fans who are so proud of you!!
Smooches!
-Lindsay and the Wonder Twins
Hey Lindsay!!! I always love seeing that pic of you. I don’t think I’ve ever told you this, but every time I see a comment from you here or on facebook, I think “There is my glamorous reader!” because you look so much the screen siren in that photo!!
I really appreciate all of your comments, thank you!!!
Gratefully,
Christy
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I’m so happy I discovered your site. I live in Oregon but was born in Arkansas so I’m a long way from the South and I can’t tell you how excited I was to find your site the first time and all these fabulous recipes from my childhood. I sent the link to your site to everyone in my family. I look so forward to your newsletters – not only for the recipes but also for the clever way you write them – always so funny!
I just started a batch of these lemon bars and will be enjoying them for desert this evening after dinner – if they last that long.
Vickie
Happy Anniversary Christy
The video is a great success! My family thanks you for all of your wonderful recipes! My husband has asked me more than once if we can move to Alabama and become your neighbor in the hopes that you would feed him 
You are a natural at what you do…don’t ever change that!
Thanks again for the recipes, the tangents(which are my favorites), and for bringing us Southern Plate!
Hi, Christy,
Happy one year Anniversary! This is a great website.
I’m fairly new here but am really enjoying it and have recommended it to many of my Red Hat Society sisters!
Most of your recipes and the expressions you use are very familiar to me as my family on both sides came to Texas from Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.
Love your accent, by the way! Mine is sorta like yours but with a Texas drawl!
Y’all have a wonderful day, hear?
Hugs,
Sandy in Texas
Loved the video, and those lemon bars look scrumptious! By the way, that Georgia family reuinion you mentioned, is it the one next weekend (Souher-Dyer)? If so, we’ll be there since my mom and your mother-in-law are cousins. (We are technically Southers or Dyers, but we have a lot of the same ancesors and are relatives.)
Anyway, I am looking forward to making those delicious lemon bars. Yummy
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, CHRISTY!! I’m really new to your site~but loving it already!! So does hubby, since I’ve already made several of your recipes. Keep it going and thanks for a great site!
Happy Anniversary Christy! I am so excited for you. I am also excited that you live right here in the Huntsville area and I will be able to meet you soon I hope. I did see you out at the Madison Walmart several weeks ago with your son but I didnt speak because it looked like you and Brady were having such a nice time together and I didnt want to take up your time. You are as beautiful in person as on the videos (looooved it by the way!). I still say you will be on tv soon with your own show just like Paula Deen. I was so excited to receive your cookbook in the mail yesterdAY.
Congratulation on your first anniversary, and your first video. It was enjoyable I will make the lamon bars later I always enjoyed reading Burma Shave signs Wonder what ever happened to them?
Love, love, LOVE the video!
My husband wanted me to ask you to marry him.
He has loved EVERY single recipe of yours that I have made for him (and I have made a lot from your cookbook and website). Yesterday was the fried pies which he says is the best I have ever made for him. The day before it was strawberryade.
Thanks again!
Sherry Wilkins
Happy Anniversary Christy!! I am so excited for you.I am also excited that I may get to meet you soon being that you live right here in the Huntsville, Madison area. I did see you at the Madison Walmart several weeks ago, but I didnt speak because you and Brady looked like yall were having such a special time together. I was so happy to receive your cookbook in the mail yesterday. I looked through the whole book as soon as I got it. I love the cover. You should have everyone bring a recipe from your book to the get together you are having for your anniversary. Yummy!! As I have said before I send all my friends to your website. It is my favorite!!
Nancy! Girl, I’m gonna have to get you for that! If you ever see me, please say hi!!! My son, bless his heart, gets tickled to death, too. God love him, he thinks his Mama is famous, lol!
Just remember if you see me out with my kids, they are ten and four and brother and sister. It ain’t always pretty! heehee
Please do say hi though, I’d love to meet you!
Thank you so much for sending folks, I sure do appreciate it! Check out the Madison Spirit section of the Huntsville Times this Wednesday!
Gratefully,
Christy
Funny Hee Haw intermission! My favorite one of theirs is “Gloom, despair, and agony on me.” I like to sing that one when I’m having a not-so-great day!
Congratulations on your anniversary!
Loved the video and look forward to more hint, hint. But I also love your regular tutorials. You, Terry and Bill all sounded wonderful.
And, yes I do remember looking forward to the Burma Shave signs as we traveled along. We all looked for them.
Thanks, Bev, for the compliment…..I have never, ever heard anyone actually say that I “sounded wonderful”…so my trip to ‘Bama, Bountiful, meeting/cooking w/ beautiful Christy, was groundbreaking, to be sure. The lemon bars ALONE were worth the 4 hr. drive. I just wish my “warm up” HeeHaw song in the kitchen earlier that morning was on video……I scared the pants off Christy as I shouted “I SEARCHED THE WORLD OVER….” Good times. ~waves at you~ Hope to meet you one day at SP meeting.
Awesome video, loved it! Especially the intermission part, I can remember staying weekends with my grandparents and my grandpa always had to watch his HeeHaw. The lemon bars look delicious going to have to make some this weekend. Happy 1st Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary Southern Plate and Bountiful!
I loved the video…you guys should “go on the road”.
Happy Anniversary and thanks for all you do for us desperate cooks!
Oh my sweet Christy, the video was great. Being a northerner or should I say a “Lawngilander” I’m really getting a kick out of all this southern talk. I love it. I’ve been stuck in a cooking rut for a long time, same things over and over. Now when I want a change I just go to Southern Plate and cook away. Thanks for opening a whole new door for me.
Terry, you did a great job too, and Bill you can sing to me anytime.
Y’all keep up the good work, ya hear.
Thank you so much, precious, for your kind words. We’re “neighbors” right now and if I shout really loudly, maybe you can hear me over the Pocono Mtn range. ~waves~ If you get over this way, let me know…… I will make you a pie, choc. pecan, of course. Psssst….ya really picked up that thar southern-speak perfectly in your sign off line. ~salutes~
Happy Anniversary, my entire family LOVES your recipes
Thanks for everything you do. Fun video & awesome food!
Ok, trying for the double comment here
Cool video, as always, wonderful food. Corny singing ( but fun) loved every bit of it. Hoping to see lots more from you 
Happy Anniversary! You’ve accomplished a lot in a year! You should be proud! Congratulations!
God bless,
Amanda
Happy Anniversary Christy, congratulations. I just love your posts, they bring back so many memories for me of my mother and mamaw, just looking at that dixie cornbread or those fried pies makes me smile. I just love your site, keep up the great work you are doing.
#2, Amazing video, you are the best. Love the Burma shave signage.
#3 I still remember the first recipe I got from you, it was chicken and dumplings, and it was before SP. I still make it and love it. You make things nice and easy for us all. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
Appreciatively,
JoAnn
~grabs napkin, waiting for pie and ice cream.~
I grew up looking for Burma Shave signs as we traveled the highways.
Absolutely loved them. I absolutely loved your video, too. Congratulations on a job well done. Your recipes are fantastic and I look forward to all your e-mails. Keep up the good work.
Happy Anniversary Gal!!
Great job on the video Christy. Your voice is so southern and I love it. Funny how we all sound different from different parts of the south. You and Teri did a awesome job. I loved Katys bow in her hair miss curly top. I wish i could come see you in Alabama, Texas isnt to far away girl maybe one day ((fingers crossed)). You know I luvy ya. Oh and Bill great job as well. ~grins~ Lemon Bars are a true southern treat.
it is 12:35 on Sat. nite & I have just finished watching ALL of your videos..LOVED them!!! You did us southerners proud… I especially liked the video of your room & your apparent confusion of the shower “thingy”: HAHAHA Found out you weren’t in the south anymore huh!?! MAYBE folks like to watch others shower, but thats kinda “weirds” me out too.((grin)) Again…too cute too cute.. too cute…..by the way ..your kids singing the flower song was PRECIOUS!!! i just loved them all…keep on recording & cranking out those recipes..P.S. I just got my cookbook today & am sooooo happy!!! thanks for all your hard work…
Christy!
Excellent video. You sound just like I expected….a nice lady.
Anyway..when I make lemon bars (and I make them every other month or so), I make the crust in the food processor….super easy, super fast.
I go in for “lemon overload,” so I wash a real lemon, and peel off the yellow (zest) with a sharp potato peeler, and cut it small, and add it to the dry ingredients, and process them before adding the butter. The processor cuts the lemon peel really finely. Don’t include any of the white (pith), for it is nasty tasting.
I then halve and juice the lemon…..
Happy Anniversary, Southern Plate!
Lawrence
This is great! I love the video tutorial and seeing you cooking with friends ^_^
And yummy lemon bars! With this and those fried peach pies, I’ll be very happy for the few days (or maybe I should say hours) in which they will be consumed!
Christy,
Bravo! Bravo!
What a delight to watch you and your first video! You and Teri drew us in and made us feel like we were standing next to you in the kitchen. That’s not easy for most people. Your natural love for others shone through and it was obvious it was fun and not a bit of a problem for you!
Lemon bars, yummy! You know, for some reason, I don’t believe I have ever induldged in them. That’s about to change real soon!
Your video intro and out are excellent. They do a great job of evoking the feelings of your segments!
What a special joy to hear big brother Bill on the video! I look forward to meeting him in person at the gathering!
Congratulations on your first year Christy! You’re a vibrant whirlwind of happiness, enthusiasm and wonderful knowledge. What a joy it will be to see where year two takes you! I’m glad and honored to be on the ride with you!
Now, bask in the glow of your success, and then I call for a biscuit making tutorial. Mine are always tough and I know you can soften them right up for us!
Thank you for the honor of being my mentor, and the joy of being my friend!
Happy Anniverarsy!
Blessings to you, Ricky, Brady and Katy!
All my best,
Maralee
Oh my goodness, this is just fantastic! Bill?!?!?! Bill, that was you on the phone?
And I have no idea what this Burma Shave stuff is, all I know is I was reading and then the word Burma popped up and I got confused. lol
) that is where my parents are from?
Crazy enough, do you know (no, you know, but now you do
Your recipe for lemon bars is really different to the kind we make here. We make ours with a biscuit base, like a cheesecake, and the lemon frosting usually has sweetened condensed milk in. You probably have something similar there. I know you love your condensed milk.
You two look like you had so much fun!
Happy Anniversary! Those lemon bars look delicious! Great video! Looks like you and Terri had a ball making it. And the intermission…what a hoot!!!
I received your cookbook yesterday and LOVE it!! Looking forward to making many “ASAP” recipes!
I really love your recepies and your site!!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to many more years of Southern Plate.
I’m gonna get right on these-shut yo mouth! LOL
Happy Anniversary Christy!!!
Loved the video, hope there will be more of those in the future too!
Great job from Teri and Bill!
Christy, thank you for a wonderful year of coming into our homes with Southernplate and always bringing us good eats and great stories and of course great company!
Looking forward to many more years of just hanging out at Southerplate and getting to know you and the family even more.
Thank you! ~blows you a kiss~ So hope I get to meet ya at a SP event.
Christy, that video had me smiling from ear to ear. You and Terri complimented each other so nicely. And I LOVE lemon. I’ll be sure to try that one. And finally, I LOVE your laugh. You are so cheery and fun, just like your pretty yellow kitchen!
~blushes~ You are sooo sweet, Ms. Lara. ~slips you that hundred dollars i owe ya~ I hope we made you smile AND made you bake some lemon bars. MMMMM!
These lemon bars look delicious!! So easy to make as well!! Love the video Christy!!!
Mandi
Love the video and I can’t wait to make these! We’ve got Vacation Bible School going this week and I’m going to bless the kiddies with Lemon Bars one night. Another plus for me is that it uses eggs! We have five laying hens, and I’m covered up in eggs right now. I believe we’ll be blessing the pediatrician’s office with these too when my boy goes for his annual checkup next week! Thanks so much for all the great recipes.
Christy,
Thanks so much! I am so excited about the new mixer! Congrats on your 1st year! Thank you once more for “teaching me how to cook like a true Southerner!”
Lesley in Alabama
thank you so much !!!
Hi Christy!
Congratulations on your first year! Love the video! You rock!!
:: Estwee
Happy Anniversary Christy! LOVED the video, and lemon bars are my favortie thing on earth, I cannot wait to make some myself!
Keep up the great work, I LOVE southern plate!
I made these bars today, and this is the best lemon bar recipe ever! Lemon bars are one of my favorites so I had to try these as they looked easy, and I had everything to make them already. I have a recipe that I have used in the past that had cream cheese in it, but it was not as good as this one. And I have used the boxed mixes before, and they were okay, but not like this. I had a bottle of key lime juice that I used instead of the lemon juice to make key lime bars. They are to die for! I will be putting these on my list for the bake sale that we do every fall for my daughter’s marching band. Lemon bars are very popular sellers there. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
I enjoyed your video. I hope you do more. Congratulations on your one year anniversary. I sure do enjoy visiting you here!
Christy, congratulations on a year of this beautiful craziness. I just discovered your site this morning looking for lemon chess pie. I then went to the home page and saw this very well done video. I was laughing so much at the fun you and Terri were having that I forgot to pay attention. I haven’t been around Southern people much at all since leaving the South many years ago but I do recall the warmth of Southern folk and the really unique and delicious food. It was also good to hear the Southern voice also. While I do not know the song you were singing it did bring a laugh from my Italian face and a smile in my heart. I did notice that your voices dropped out of range a couple of times but turning up my volume to full found that you are both actually quiet funny. I hope you do more of these videos. The lemon bars sound luscious and I intend to try them soon.
Thank you so much,
Paolo
These are a family favorite at our house too and we have a similar recipe handed down from a generation or too as well.
Regards,
CCR =:~)
I finally found THE video you told me about. How Cool! My chickens and even Me! Ha!
K
Its Sept. 09 and your video goes on…..I love it…especially the intermission…I just sang along with yall. Lemon bars are one of my fav’s that my mom used to make for the family. You make everything you do look so easy…Enjoy all your posts..
