Since I came across this recipe a few years ago, and never having had lemon bars, I tried it. OMG! The best, most explosive lemon burst in your mouth! Since then, I cannot satisfy my family's love for these dreamy lemon bars! I've probably made them at least ten times! Just can't get enough! Not only that, but no store-bought lemon bars ever come close! Thank you, Natasha!9

A YEAR FROM NOW YOU'LL EITHER BE HAPPY THAT YOU STARTED WORKING ON YOUR DREAMS OR WISHING THAT YOU HAD STARTED,
GET STARTED NOW AND DON'T LIVE WITH REGRETS! You can do it!

[jtkerrigan]

Ok! these are amazing! I like to cook, but I'm no baker. These were super easy, and no stand mixer needed. Easily mixes by hand. Thank you!

[lorijulian]

This took me back to my mom's lemon bars so thanks for the memory! I would love to see some summer BBQ classics like potato salad, burgers and summer desserts. Love you channel. I've done your chicken parm and your beef stew over the winter. My husband loved them both!

[ttsqhfh]

I watched your entire video on how to make these lemon bars. It’s the best one yet they look delicious. I cannot wait to make them.

[gadkakurumo]

Lemon bars today! I can't take this anymore! Natasha, you just complete me and put a smile on my face

[alsde]

I tried it and was very sweet, next time I will be using 2.25 cups of sugar instead of 3. The texture and creaminess of the filling was on point that I will be using it to make lemon tart.

[pameladgarnish]

Awesome recipe, great video! I love your energy! Must admit I altered it... instead of granulated sugar in crust I used powdered sugar. Also I put the vanilla in the egg mixture not in the crust. Turned out perfect. Thank you
