These lemon coconut shortbread bars are simple and quick to make, and everyone loves to eat them!

Lemon coconut shortbread bars on a wooden cake stand.

I hosted a party last week and today I’m sharing with you a yummy dessert I made, lemon coconut shortbread bars that are perfect for any party or celebration.

Because I love to bake, I always make a homemade good for an event and the appetizers I provide are usually very simple.

Lemon shortbread bars in a glass baking dish with a wooden spatula.

I was given the beautiful Kitchen Wedge in maple from Polder’s Old World Market.

The lemon bars on the cake stand sprinkled with icing sugar.

The lemon bars have this delicious tang offset by some sweetness, that no one can resist!

    I can’t tell you how I’m craving lemon bars now! I’ve gathered the ingredients and can’t wait to try your recipe this evening!? I also use my cookie spatula to serve almost everything! It’s got to be my most used piece next to the double sided measuring spoon:). I love that you’ve collected each in different woods?….. That’s my hardest decision when ordering a special piece from old world Kitchen…. It’s which wood to have it carved in. I LOVE them all?. I think I have 5 different woods. I think my next piece would have to be the chef spoon and honey dipper and one of those need to be fancy maple ?
    Thank you for sharing! I’m excited to go and try?

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you?

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
