Lemon Pastry Squares (a.k.a Lemon Brownies) - a new take on Lemon Bars! by Salad Foodie

Quick to make, these bar cookies are a sister version of drop cookies (the dough can actually be made into those if you prefer.) Oatmeal and nuts provide a light crunchiness to the moist and munchy texture. In brief - a delightful cookie your company will love!

Top of the Line Banana Nut Bread

Top of the Line Banana Nut Bread by J. Gino Genovesi

This bread is light and tender yet firm,, and has a mixture of flavors appealing to the taste buds. I began cooking at any early age and mostly used family recipes. However, over the years I have tried many bread recipes and eventually came up with this one. The blend of orange and lemon is satisfying.
