Blueberry lemon crumble bars – a buttery lemon shortbread crust topped with a juicy berry filling and shortbread crumble.

Blueberry Lemon Crumble Bars

Are you a crisp person? A crumble person? A pie person?

I’m an all-of-the-above-but-basically-love-bars-the-most person.

Not bars where you buy alcohol OBVIOUSLY because I have a child who wakes up at 5:30 every day and who has the energy for that.

In the past two weeks I’ve made blueberry crumble bars, a strawberry pandowdy, and this raspberry tart. Not to mention I’ve got my eyes (and heart. and stomach.) set on making a raspberry peach pie in the next 48 hours.

True life – working days in the ER is actually harder than working nights!! I never would have guessed.

At night there’s usually an hour or two when nothing happens and nobody comes in…but during the day it’s just an endless stream of patients. I’m amazed that people can do this every day for their whole life! They are obviously made of stronger stuff than I am.

I can’t think enough to write anymore because I have to save all my mental energy for the barrage of patients I’m sure to see today. SO.

Enjoy your weekend and happy eating!
