So last week I was on a quest to make low fat lemon bars! Actually the truth is I had been wanting to make them for the longest time because about several months ago I was watching Paula Deen on the Food Network and she was making these super decadent Lemon bars bursting with butter and well, they looked so good. Then about a month a go I saw Giada de laurentiis making some lemon bars and well, that sealed the deal! It was like the lemons were screaming out at me " Make us into bars!! Maaaaaakeeee Ussss!".
Gosh I make them sound like evil little lemons don't I? Well, they are evil if they tempted me to make them into bars! So far, I must say, this is the only recipie/dish I have had the urge to reeeeeaally make twice! They call to me!

Ok so getting back to the bars, I wanted to make lemon bars that were low in fat because usually they are not low cal and I could stand to loose several pounds so after much searching the internet for the perfect recipe, I found it at the blog "Cooking done light". Here is the link to her
Low Calorie Lemon Bars!
I still can't believe these bars are only 66 Calories! That's nothing! I could eat like three of these and not feel guilty! They are so rich in lemony flavor goodness that you don't even realize that they are low fat~! These guys were so good that they were all gone by the following morning :) (Not all by me, don't worry) My only gripe about them is that I need to buy a normal 8" x 8" pan as the recipe states because I used an individual brownie portion pan and it was a bit hard to get these guys out since the bottom of the bars were so crumbly. I think it would be easier to get them all out as as a whole and cut them in an even pan. So that's the plan today! I'm going to target to get a new brownie/cake pan! :D I think I'm going to need some new cabinets or storage for all the baking things I'm going to eventually want to get :)
