I would like to thank those of you who have been writing, it is a great help to hear what recipes you have to share, and what recipes you are looking for. That’s what this column is all about, not about me, but about you. I have great fun hearing from you and trying all the different recipes you send in. I’m the woman sitting next to you reading a magazine and instead of trying to find out about Brittney Spears’ problems, I flip for recipes. Yeah, I know, I have no social conscience. Anyway, this week I heard from Esther in Patten; she read the recipe I shared for lemon bars and sent me in the original recipe. (Of course, I love anything with lemon) Here it is.
Bottom Layer
1 cup flour
1 stick oleo
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
Esther says she sometimes double the bottom part or 1 1/2 times. She says it gives you a better bottom crust. I use the same instructions of mixing and baking.
1 cup confectioners sugar
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup Cool Whip
Third Layer
2 pkgs. instant lemon pudding
1 tsp lemon juice
2 1/4 or 2 1/2 cup milk (Esther uses 2 1/4 cup milk)
How about you? Do you have any favorite summer recipes? Have you figured out a way to grill pizza? Or maybe a dessert? Let us know. With the heat of summer approaching, we will all want all the outdoor recipes we can get. (Yes, heat is coming, I’m sure.)
Have a great week and we’ll talk more next time.
One more thing! I have a new e-mail address. You can also reach me at susieqcooking@ainop.com as well as susieqcooking@ainop.com or c/o Pioneer Times, P.O. Box 456, Houlton, Maine 04730. I look forward to hearing from you.
