About

My entire life is patched together by a series of lists.

There’s the work to-do lists that clutter my desk in piles, dark lines slashing through the completed items.

There’s the on-going grocery list in my iphone notes, constantly being added to, erased, and then restarted as soon as I leave the store parking lot.

There’s my recipe ingredient lists, filling notebooks that clutter the counters of the kitchen, within arm’s reach for when inspiration strikes and marked with spills and stains of every assortment.

Then there’s the secret lists of things that I imagine accomplishing one day. Dreams that refuse to leave me alone, no matter how hard I try to ignore them.

These lists keep my hours productive and my life on track, and for that I’m grateful.

There are times, however, when I’d like to gather all my lists into a great big pile and drop a fiery match onto it, in order to re-live the carefree oblivion of my youth.

Biting into a Skinny Lemon Bar is like turning back the hands of time to revisit what it felt like to not care how productive a day would be, but to simply care about enjoying the moment.

With no refined sugar or flour, you can enjoy the delicately sweet treat without worrying about adding an extra workout to your list.

Just close your eyes, take a lazy bite, and allow time to stand still.
