Yellow, Square, and FULL of Sugar!


Good evening bloggers. I don't have a whole two paragraphs to write tonight, but I do have an award winning dessert for everyone to try out. I know most of you are familiar with Lemon Squares. That's exactly what is on our menu tonight. So, grab your shopping list, your apron, and your whisks and let's get baking!
