Lemon Bar Squares

Welcome to October! This is the beginning of my favorite season, favorite three months, and busy times. I love the holidays, the cooler temperatures, and the return of Fall television. It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

These lemon bar squares are for our Yom Kippur dinner on Friday night. I made them last weekend and froze them. Before I serve them, I’ll dust with powdered sugar.

These are simple to make, can be made ahead, and are a nice alternative to something chocolate. I like the tartness too. Start to finish (including clean up) is under an hour.
