Today I made a test batch of the lemon bars.  The flavor is awesome. They aren't quite as firm as they should be.  I was too impatient and took them out of the oven a few minutes too soon.
Recipe:
3/4 c. chopped nuts (mostly almonds and walnuts)
10 dried dates
juice and zest of half a lemon
1/2 t. vanilla
30 goji berries
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Put the nuts and dates in a food processor and blend until crumbly.  Add zest, juice, and vanilla and pulse until incorporated.  Press mixture into a 4 x 8 pan.  Press goji berries evenly over top.  Bake 20 minutes. 
Yes, I had a small bite.  I'm giving the rest to my son in the morning.
It's so hot today I'm thinking about a cold veggie salad for dinner tonight.  I'm soaking some sundried tomatoes.  I think I'll chop and steam some broccoli, then throw in the tomatoes and a can of chickpeas.  And probably just some cold Italian dressing and fresh parsley over the top.
