This would be an easy task but I had a very difficult time narrowing down my favorite things since I practically love everything except snakes and butter beans!

Today, I’m re-sharing my all time favorite Luscious Lemon Bars recipe, packed full of thirst quenching lemon flavor. I also love the fresh citrus smell of lemon, especially in the kitchen so I keep a supply of Mrs. Meyers Lemon Verbena kitchen products right by my sink.
