tart & sour summer...

I found this recipe a while back in Self magazine (know that magazine with a ridiculously photoshopped lady in a bikini on the cover?) These lemony snacks actually taste like lemons surprise surprise- not artificial like those ones from a Betty Crocker box. I tend to add more lemon than needed..just because its just so delightfully tart and perfect. The crust especially is my favorite because i confess to be a huge nut lover- *in a very sophisticated voice* they contain many beneficial oils in them which is vital to our body's wellbeing (my health tip for the day).

Whisk away my lil' bluberries, whisk away (:
