My Moniker, The Lemon Bar Lady

You may wonder why I call myself The Lemon Bar Lady. Here’s the story behind my self-given title.

Over 20 years ago, I entertained lofty dreams of my lemon bars gracing the pastry cases of a certain famous chain of coffeeshops (which I shall not name). I drafted ideas and drew sketches of which later I learned were vision boards.

Throughout the years I crafted recipes, tweeking and changing ingredients here and there until I scored the perfect recipe.

The first customer to purchase the final recipe is the person that you see in this photo, my friend Carlos. He ordered a box of lemon bars for his family’s Christmas dinner in 2007. After their rave reviews I never changed the recipe again.

In 2014, a persistent and eager client introduced my lemon bars to Nordstrom restaurant reps at the new store opening in The Woodlands, Texas and the rest is history.

Carlos can now purchase my lemon bars at Nordstrom Houston Galleria’s Ebar. Keep dreaming, keep pushing and keep believing. Reach for the moon and you’ll land among the stars.
