Simple Lemon Bars

A few weeks ago I posted an amazing Lemon Bar recipe over at Cookie Louise Pleaze in celebration of the lovely, Christina's one year bloggerversary. For those of you who might have missed it, I wanted to share it again because it's just THAT good.
Here's what you need…

For the crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted but not hot

For the filling:
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Fit a piece of foil across the pan bottom and up 2 of the sides. Make sure the foil overhangs to the pull bars from the pan. Spray again with vegetable cooking spray.

Mix flour, salt and confectioner’s sugar in a medium bowl; stir in butter to form dough. Press dough into pan bottom (the bottom of a measuring cup dipped in flour helps press it down evenly). Bake until pale golden, about 20 minutes.


While pastry bakes, whisk eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest in a medium bowl.

Remove pan from oven. Add lemon mixture and continue to bake until just set; about 20 minutes longer. Let cool in pan for a few minutes and then using foil handles, pull bars from pan and set on a wire rack. Cool until room temperature. 

Cut into 1x1 inch squares, dust lightly with more confectioner's sugar and serve. Makes about 36 delicious bars. Enjoy!
xoxo

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh

Purple Power Juice

As we wrap up our 3 day juice reboot , I find myself thinking about this fruity concoction we enjoyed on day 2 . A strong, berry burst with a bite of ginger, perfect as a morning pick-me-up. Remember, fruit is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach because it moves through your digestive system much faster than other foods. 6 cups of concord grapes 1 green apple 1/2 cup of blackberries 2 2"  pieces of ginger (I used 1 1" piece because ginger is super strong) Enjoy! xo Sécia Check out our other juice recipes  here !
