Okie Dokie girls here's the recipe for yesterday's lemon squares which are pretty yummy.

1 3/4 c flour
1/3 c plus 3 TBS confectioner's sugar
1/3 c margarine ( I used Smart Balance)
1 1/3 c sugar
1 TBSp grated lemon rind
1 tsp baking powder
3 egg whites
1 egg
1/3 c plus 1 TBSP lemon juice
1/2 tsp butter extract (didn't have any so I omited)
13x9x2 pan

Heat oven to 350.
In a medium bowl combine 1 1/2 c flour and 1/3 c of confectioners sugar, cut in the margarine with a pastry cutter or two knives ( I used my fingers) until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of baking pan. Bake 20 minutes or until lightly browned.( I only baked for about 10 minutes...my oven runs hot).
Combine sugar, remaining 1/4 c flour, lemon rind, baking powder, egg whites and egg in a medium bowl and blend with a whisk.
Stir in the 1/3 c lemon juice and butter extract. Pour the mixture over the prepared crust.
Bake 20 minutes or until set.
In a small dish combine the remaining 3 TBS confectioner's sugar and 1 TBSp lemon juice to make a glaze.
Carefully spread the glaze over the hot lemon squares. Cool completley in the pan and cut into squares.....Then enjoy!

Dinner....The experiment!

For Dinner I had no idea what to make but knew it had to be healthy.

So I cooked 1 1/2 cubed ckn breasts with 1 scoop "Grandmothers Sunday Roast Seasoning" from Homemade gourmet.

In the meantime I boiled a bag of brown rice.

When the chicken was done I added the rice to the chicken, along with 1/2 c frozen corn and peas.
1/2 cup of water and a 1/2 scoop of Seasoning.

I let this cook and it smelled up my whole house with yumminess!!
It was just as yummy too!!
I over did it to where I was stuffed!

1 1/2 servings-460 calories (this is a guesstimate)
