When my brother about broke his teeth on the crust of some lemon bars, I thought I would try to make them chewier with graham cracker crumbs as the crust.
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 7 tablespoons butter , softened
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 5 eggs
- 3 cups white sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups lemon juice
- 0.33 cups confectioners' sugar for decoration
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Combine graham cracker crumbs, softened butter or margarine, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Press mixture onto bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
-
3
Beat eggs, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. (If mixture is too thick, water may be added to thin it.) Pour the mixture over the hot graham cracker crust. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Dust the top with confectioners' sugar. After cooling, cut into squares.

Mushroom and Pea Risotto
My very first risotto recipe and I must say, it's pretty legit. Rich and creamy with loads of mushrooms, peas, and cheese. Absolutely delicious and honestly, quite easy to whip up. Serve and garnish with additional grated cheese and chopped parsley.
Homemade Cereal
I learned how to make cereal with my mother-in-law's wonderful granola recipe. She's made it for years. It's so flexible and so much cheaper (and better) than store-bought granola. Store in airtight containers.
Koula's Best Ever Chicken Gyros
This is an unusual version of classic Middle Eastern gyros (only homemade under the oven's broiler). Very tasty and quick to make. Perfect weekday dinner! You can prepare it in advance, let it marinate and just stick it in the oven. Best served inside pita bread pockets, with salad and yogurt.
