Lemon Bars

Tonight is one of my favorite nights on TV- Oscar's night! I'm so excited to watch. I wanted to make something different for a sweet treat and found a variety of easy recipes for lemon bars on pinterest. Some used lemon curd, some lemon creme pie filling, some added water, but I just stuck with two basic ingredients: angel food cake mix and a can of lemon pie filling. That's right, easiest dessert ever!

Ta-da! Once it's cool you can sprinkle with powdered sugar and then cut into squares.

I've never used angel food cake mix before, but it is very powdery! As I was mixing the dry ingredients were flying everywhere. When I was done my kitchen looked like I was installing drywall. Again though, let me reiterate how easy this sweet treat is. Once the TWO ingredients are combined, pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake for about 25 minutes at 350, until it browns around the edges and pulls away from the side of the pan.

Don't be expecting traditional lemon bars, since there is no crust or cream cheese or anything else you may find in a bakery lemon bar. But they are very light and delicious! Almost like a lemon sponge cake, lighter than pound cake but heavier than angel food cake. I am going to have to share them otherwise I will eat every single one... Look out NQACC, the break room will have some yummy treats tomorrow.

And for dinner, currently in the oven....Cheesy Chicken Tator Tot Casserole. Thanks to The Country Cook. Can't wait to try this tator tot creation and watch the Academy Awards!

Good company and beautiful dresses

Last night I went to my wonderful friend's apartment to eat dinner and watch the Oscar's and had a great time relaxing and enjoying the night. It was so nice to just watch something and not be worried about homework or anything else for a little bit of time. And of course it was wonderful getting to spend time with one of my best friends at school. I am so blessed by her and sometimes feel like I would go crazy without having her around.
After watching the show I wish that I would have seen more of the movies that came out this year. Especially the King's Speech! My favorite part of every award's show is the red carpet and getting to see what everyone is wearing. Forget the awards, I want to see the dresses ;) One of my favorites last night (not just her dress, but as an actress too) was Natalie Portman.

She looked beautiful! Especially with her adorable preggo belly :)

Life feels like it is finally winding down a little bit, even though there are still 3 more weeks of school, I have definitely gotten over the majority of work for this quarter. I am counting down the days til Spring Break and praying for a warm week home! 19 days to go...
