Yum those look really good
Mary, your lemon blueberry crumb bars look heavenly, and your photos are stunning, so crisp and clear. I’ve been trying to incorporate blueberries into recipes because of the health boost, and your bars are a splendid way to do that.
The colors are beautiful and taste is wonderful combination. Last year I searched the web and had difficulty finding a recipe that looks this appetizing and simple to make, thank you for another wonderful dessert recipe, can’t wait to try this one soon!!!
Warm Regards,

Wow, this looks so yummy. I love blueberries and lemon so this is right up my alley.
