Lemon Bars

When I was growing up my grandmother always made Lemon Squares. It became the go to dessert for every family gathering. I was missing grandma the other day when I saw this recipe by Bakerella. I decided to carry on grandma's legacy by bringing it to our most recent family dinner. They were a big hit. I really liked them, but not as well as grandma's recipe. I know that even if I made her recipe it would not taste as well. Nobody can make something as well as grandma.
