Paleo Lemon Berry Dessert Bars (SCD, GAPS, Paleo, Dessert)

Anyone in the mood for dessert? Is that a silly question? When are people not in the mood for dessert!?
I was craving something with a lemon flavor and this is what came of that craving. It has been taste tested and approved by both my mother and boyfriend so I feel good about sharing this one with you.
In other random news… is anyone else totally baffled by the loss of this airplane? I know this has nothing to do with food but how an airplane gets lost in todays day and age of technology is beyond me! Crazy.
I have also started watching The Good Wife on Netflix. It's addicting. Terribly so. Netflix had done dangerous things to my productivity that's for sure. I still remember what it was like when we had to wait a week to watch the new episode of a given show. Kids these days will never have to understand that phenomenon. Man I must be getting old.
Alright that is just about enough rambling from me. I hope you guys enjoy this one! I dare you to stop at just one piece!
