Recipe--Lemon Bars

Despite the fact that we often post dessert recipes, we really don’t eat dessert all that much (promise!) We try to keep desserts to just two nights a week (Tuesdays and Fridays.) A couple of weeks ago, Roma volunteered to make dessert for our Friday pizza and movie night. She made these delicious lemon bars, which are so simple, yet so tasty! It’s a great, refreshing dessert for this time of year.

1 cup chilled butter

2 cups all purpose flour
