What are three of your favorite posts?
It was fun to draft a post in Ruby’s point of view… plus, it’ll be fun to read it with her when she’s older!
I can barely cook, but I’ve mastered this recipe and I’m very proud my family loves it so much! lol
It’s one of a very few vlogs that I’ve done, but I loved the feedback and it gave me courage to maybe attempt another one in the near future!

What is your favorite summer activity and why?
My favorite summer activity is just getting together with family & friends and having a BBQ. BBQ season doesn’t last very long here, so I like to take advantage of it… and the only thing better than BBQ is having a BBQ with friends!  ;)
What three words would you use to describe your blog?
Family, Fashion, Fun
Favorite hobby or way to relax?
Favorite hobby is photography! You can check out my photo blog here: http://lenabphotography.blogspot.ca/
What is one thing people probably don’t know about you?
Some people might not know that I’m fluently bilingual.  French is my second language, but seeing as I live in Quebec, I’ve had to master it!  Plus, the hubs is french! ;)
Favorite summer recipe!
I don’t really cook… but my husband whips up the.best.iced.tea.ever…. I should get the recipe from him & post it on the blog! haha!

Favorite summer recipe!

My Great Aunt Ellen’s Scrumptious Lemon Bars are sure to sweeten up any summer BBQ!

Crust:

2 c. flour

1/2 c. powdered sugar

1 c. butter (real butter is essential!)

Melt butter in 9×13” pan. Mix flour and powdered sugar. Pour into pan and stir with butter. Press firmly into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Filling:

4 eggs

4 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh is best! Add some lemon zest for extra taste if you wish!)

2 c. sugar

4 Tbsp. flour

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

Beat eggs and lemon juice. Sift sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to beaten eggs. Pour over crust while hot and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. sift powdered sugar over top when cool.

Cut into squares and enjoy!

**Tip: Do not mix the sugar and eggs together too early while the crust bakes — the sugar chemically “cooks” the eggs if it sits too long.

 

I really hope you will go visit these two lovely ladies! They are such great women and I just know you will love them! Go show them some love!!
