Vegan Lemon Bars


So the day finally came! I have been longing to create vegan lemon bars, like the ones I use to scarf down at Starbucks. I Googled "vegan lemon bars" and think I took the simplest recipe I could find. The bars came out great as per my boyfriends comments, (he is usually brutally honest.) Of course, I loved them but being the critical foodie that I am, I believe that I could have made them better. I used fresh lemons and zest, which I feel, gave it a bit of an aftertaste as the lemons were not organic, and even though I scrubbed them thoroughly, the zest from them was a bit waxy tasting. There are a few more left in the pan, we ate several last night, but I am soon on to try it again only this time without the zest, and only try the organic lemons. It's crazy, but I can really taste the difference between regular and organic foods now. I eat almost 60 to 70% organic at home.
