Creamy Lemon Squares

Simple to make. Delicious and lightly sweet. A great treat to end a healthy meal!

You’ll need a quick trip to the store to pick up some millet. It’s a whole grain that you might recognize from seeing it in birdseed mix. Find it at Publix or a health food store.

While you’re simmering the millet, you’ll be squeezing the lemon and adding ingredients to the blender. (You could use lemon juice from a bottle, but fresh is always better.)

Once the millet is done, add it to the blender and whiz everything until it’s smooth.

Spray an 8x8 pan with Pam and pour in the blended mixture. Let it cool in the refrigerator for a few hours and it will set up beautifully.

I like to serve it with sliced strawberries and toasted pecans. Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!!

Simmer until water is gone ( about 30 minutes):

2 cups water

½ cup millet

3 Tbsp raw cashews

¼ tsp lemon extract

Blend cooked millet (above) with:

8-ounce can crushed pineapple

3 Tbsp lemon juice

Zest from one lemon

2 Tbsp honey

½ tsp vanilla

¼ tsp salt
