Welcome to Sunny Spring

What better way to celebrate Spring than with a light and refreshing dessert. Something different that won't disappoint even the person who loves chocolate. These lemony squares of goodness are always a big hit and so easy to make. Can be made the day before too. Great dessert too with Easter right around the corner.  I decided to deviate from What's for dinner and share a recipe that goes way back to my childhood. My mom made these a lot for parties. It's my mom's famous Lemon Squares.

I tend to make these in the summer months to bring to BBQ's,cookouts, camping and boating.  It's a different dessert that is light and refreshing and a great way to usher in Springtime.
