Creamy Lemon Oat Bars

If you like lemon bars, here is a nice little twist for you! It's not as tangy as a lemon bar, but it's still so yummy! My husband is a HUGE fan of lemon bars, and when he tried one of these, he says that these are ALMOST better than lemon bars...almost. 


It has a nice creamy center, but a yummy oat crust on the top and bottom of it. With brown sugar mixed in, you really can't go wrong. The only problem is, it doesn't make enough to last 48 hours...so you'll just have to make more soon! Because I assure you these puppies will be gone PRONTO.


Creamy Lemon Oat Bars


Ingredients:
- 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 t grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/4 t baking soda
- 1/4 t salt


Heat oven to 375. Coat 8x8 pan with non-stick spray. Mix milk, lemon zest and lemon juice in bowl until thickened and set aside. Mix remaining ingredients in medium bowl until crumbly.


Press HALF of the crumbly mixture in pan and bake for 10 minutes.


Spread lemon milk mixture over baked crust. Sprinkle the rest of the crumbly mix over the lemon milk and press down gently. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

Fried Rice

Ya'll need an easy, delicious dinner for the week night that feeds a lot? Make some of this fried rice. It's so easy and makes a great side or just a meal all in it's own. I made pork chops to go along with it and cut it into chunks and just threw them in at the end and it worked out perfectly. But I took just the leftover fried rice to work with me the next couple of days after that for lunch and I couldn't get enough. Good tip before you start though is to cook the rice the night before and let it chill in the fridge. Cuts out a lot of time waiting for it to cook and chill. Minimal ingredients with great flavor! I had pretty much everything I needed in my fridge and pantry (other than green onions) to make this. Ingredients: 2T butter, divided 3 eggs, whisked 2 medium carrots, diced into small pieces 1 small onion, diced into small pieces 3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 cup of frozen peas, thawed 4 cups cooked and chilled rice 3T soy sauce 2T oyster sau...
