A little spring for your soul.
snow chasers
My mother made these…with a recipe from her sister waaaay up in Canada
They truly are lemon bars…but go ahead
use key limes…or plain limes
you have my complete permission.
But. Do. Not. Skip. The. Coconut.
thank you
Combine:
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
Crumble with hands and press into a 9X9 pan
Bake at 350 20 minutes
Then……
Mix 2 slightly beaten eggs
3TBSP of lemon juice…or more if you like things tart
1 C. sugar
2Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 Cup of coconut
1/4 tsp salt
pour over baked crust…pop back in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes….
~~~~~~~
If ya wanna be all pretty and all…sprinkle it with icing sugar…kinda like a teensy icing sugar snowfall.
Oh Heavens to Betsy as my Canadian born Mom is known to say say
These are coconutty lemony heaven.
truly!

sounds delish!!!! But I have to swear off the goodies...gained two pounds just because of V-Day...now I'm stopping all the indulgences until I get back to my annual physical...doctor watches my weight!
Linda!!! If I lived nearby I would sneak into your kitchen and take one or two. These look heavenly. xo
Scribbling this as we speak.
My John will love you for this.

I have been thinking of a big bag of coconut I bought, Dull thinking like oatmeal and coconut,
I love lemon.
NOW THIS SOUNDS YUMMM Yummm
These look yummy and I am a Floridian that just moved to Cincy and we have had 3 snow storms in about 10 days. I could use some sun and warm weather in my life and these make me think of that.
I just discovered you blog. I'm a Florida girl living in the U.K. I sometimes have to search for 'sunshine' online. Thanks for sharing a little sun! Well done!
Yummy!!
Within five minutes of seeing this, I made them. I used lime juice.
Before they were cool enough to touch, I ate one for breakfast.
Then I ate one for lunch.
And now I'm thinking I need a third one for a snack.
The diet is officially screwed, thank you very much.
PS. I love the new color of the blog. Has it been like that for long and I somehow didn't notice??
DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! AT LEAST THEY LOOK LIKE! I'D BETTER TRY THEM, NO?!!
TAKE CARE,
ROSA

As I was looking at the picture, I was thinking, "Heyyy, I know this". Around here we call them "Gateaux Coco":) They are delish

Must have one with my coffee!!!!

Sorry. I drooled on your countertop. Linda, I just love the way you write. Carefully chosen words. You make me giggle. Milo will be flying down south to you very soon. He needs to warm up.

Oh yeah-that's what I am talking about-maybe a little margarita on the side, to accent the lime in the coconut Linda, gotta try these!!
Awe, Linda, I love that you noticed how decorated my boy is! Not bad for under two years, yes? Best reward in life is when a prodical son finds his way.
All my love to you, Deb

I love Lemon in everything! I used to make these as a kid!
Oh wow...it looks so delish and yet so easy based on your recipe. Too bad I still have to finish my medication to lower my sugar before I can try one of those goodies:(
I tried this recipe and oh my is it delicious! Thank you for sharing it, I will definitely be making it frequently to bring a little taste of the tropics to somewhere not so tropical.
ps. I just recently discovered your blog and I love it! I am a tropical girl at heart and long to move to Florida.
I just did a little write-up on Pavlovas. But these look awfully delish... OOhhh, I knew I shouldn't have come here today! (:
Happy, sweet weekend, Linda!
tastes like summer - I am ready for some warmer weather, open windows, screen doors, sunshine! Thanks for the recipe - I'm going to see if my caroline will make them for me. :)
Those look positively delish!!!!Who would make lime in the coconut bars without coconut????That's like making Beadboard Upcountry bars witn no Beadboard. EEEEW!!!!!YUCK! I will try this!!Thanks Linda!Maryanne xo
