I love lemon.
 Skinny Lemon Bars 
Ingredients
 
Crust:
1 c. flour
1/2 c. quick oats
1/4 c. white sugar
3 tbsp. butter, softened
1 c. flour
1/2 c. quick oats
1/4 c. white sugar
3 tbsp. butter, softened
Lemon Middle:
2 eggs
1 c. white sugar
3 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
juice and zest from one lemon
2 eggs
1 c. white sugar
3 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
pinch of salt
juice and zest from one lemon
Glaze:
1 c. conf. sugar
juice from half a lemon
1 c. conf. sugar
juice from half a lemon
Preheat
 the oven to 350 degrees and prep your 8x8, 9x9 or 9" round pie pan. 
Combine the ingredients for the crust, making sure the butter cuts in 
evenly and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 15 min. or 
until the edges start to turn golden.
While
 that is baking, whip together your eggs and sugar. Next add the flour, 
salt, and baking powder. Finally add the zest and juice from a lemon and
 mix very well. Pour mixture on top of the partially cooked crust and 
return to the oven. Bake for about 20 more min. You can tell that it's 
done when the center sets up. The top may start to turn golden brown. 
Let bars cool and cover evenly with glaze. Enjoy!
The whole pan of costs less than $2, and they're easy, so make them.

Hi Honey! These Skinny Lemon Bars sound wonderful, but tell me, what is the "zest of a lemon"? As you know, I am not a fancy cook, but this looks otherwise easy. Love you, Mom
