Skinny Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars - Recipe Diaries

Have you guys noticed the price of eggs lately? I couldn’t believe my eyes when I went to the grocery store and saw what the price was for a large container of eggs. Almost $5.00! It has to do with a group of chickens having to die off lately because they had some kind of disease. That is sad. It seems like a lot of different animals are dying off lately, like the honeybees for example. They’re also having problems. I haven’t had to buy a container of honey yet, but I’m sure that price will sky rocket soon too.

Guys, I think I have an OCD problem when it comes to taking pictures of bars. They have to be perfect. No junk or sauce falling off the edges of the bars. I tried the parchment paper trick where you take some parchment paper,  and put them on the bottom of the pan before baking. The edges help get the bars out of the pan cleaner. But, I always have problems when it comes to cutting them. You see the blueberry sauce dripping from the sides? Yah, I wish that wasn’t there. I was taking my knife and even cleaning the sides of the knife off before cutting each single slice. If you food bloggers have any tips for getting bars out of a pan nicely please do tell me! Then my camera battery tried in the middle of taking these pictures. Oops.

    Just clarification….in the recipe you say melted coconut oil and also say mix in 1 egg at a time. The recipe posted shows melted butter and only 1 egg. Just want to make sure I have the correct ingredients before making this scrumptious dish!
