We’ll be taking these squares as we go visit family this March Break. We’re also planning a trip to the Toronto Zoo and some swimming and skating. Do you have any special family plans coming up?

I live in Bowmanville, and am a mom to four young boys - it can get a little loud in my house. I am a Christian, a part-time French teacher, a piano teacher and former homeschooler. I love finding the best deals, which will come in handy when our boys become hungry teenagers! We just moved to a house with more outdoor space, and I'm still getting used to life in the country (a walk around the block is a lot longer here!).

Those look delicious! I’ve tried many different versions of lemon squares, but I’ve never actually made them myself. I may just have to change that with this recipe!
I love lemon squares. They are one of my favorites. My sister-in-law also makes cranberry-lime ones that are divine.
What a perfect spring treat. I love lemon bars, and now I want to make a batch desperately.
I love these!
it looks yumm. . . mind if i copy your recipe and try to make it for my fam? thanks ahead
Go ahead! Good luck!
Sometimes I can eat lemon sweet treats and other times I can’t. I prefer berry flavors, but I will eat the crunchy, crispy, crumbly and crusty parts of any treat. I went to the Toronto Zoo and had a blast. My favorite part was seeing the polar bears swim behind this glass panel. It was amazing!
Lemon Squares are perfect snack for Spring & this looks so delicious. The recipe looks pretty good & easy to make. I would love to try this over an weekend.
