CELEBRATE CITRUS SEASON with these DREAMY MEYER LEMON and GINGER BARS

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s January folks!  Are you on a fast or reset diet? Here’s the cleanse that I did.

Prolon is a five-day fasting mimicking program. Let me tell you, It was not easy, but the entire diet is in a box! There was no grocery shopping involved. This program is scientifically proven to reset your metabolism and help with the aging process. Don’t we all need that???

I picked a week where I didn’t have too many obligations and it was a perfect amount of time for me.  I made it through the entire  five days and I felt very proud.  But I have to admit, I’ve been hungry since then.  I lost a few pounds but I’ve probably made up for it already by testing these lemon bars. 😂

Since we’re in prime citrus season, I wanted to use Meyer lemons to make a batch.  In my opinion, if you’re going to indulge, you might as well make it worth it! Lemon bars are one of those treats that melt in your mouth. When I had my store on 18th Street, we used to sell Lemon Bars by the hundreds each week.

Meyer lemons are sweeter than regular lemons with a rind that’s a little more on the herbal side.

Now, there might be a ton of different recipes for lemon bars out there, but I always swoon for the shortbread crust. There’s really no substitute for shortbread! You can’t beat that buttery flaky texture.

I hope you love these bars as much as I do. Like always, I’d love to hear your thoughts on lemon bars in the comments section. I’d also like to hear if you have a family recipe that you swear by! Oh and don’t forget to look out for my March cabaret show dates. I would love to see you all in the audience. 🎤🎶💃
