Patriotic Lemon Bars for July Fourth

May 30, 2014

These days I’m always looking for an easy and yummy treat to make for my family. These patriotic lemon bars are low-fat, relatively healthy for a dessert, and SUPER easy (there are only four ingredients, including the fruit!). Oh, and they’re delicious. They’re the perfect summer treat to celebrate July Fourth! And you can change out the fruit, or make them with only two ingredients if you just want plain lemon bars. (When I make them that way I dust them with powdered sugar!) Here’s how to make them, patriotic style.

Chandra is a mom of three boys (8, 4, and 3) and the founder of Oh Lovely Day, a lifestyle blog with a honest look at motherhood. She is trying to create more of an open dialogue with a no-judgement attitude about the struggles of mothers, mental health, postpartum depression, breastfeeding, baby wearing, and just doing the best we can and not being too hard on ourselves. In that vein, she started the hashtag #battlefieldmotherhood to encourage her fellow mothers to share on Instagram as well. She believes in dance parties, desserts during nap time, and a good hike can cure almost anything. And someday she hopes to sleep and date her husband again. You can also find Chandra on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook.
