Many moons ago, I was a low-level cashier at my college’s main food court on campus. To all of my friends who ever doubted my mental math skills, all I have to say is that I was damn good at my job. Money, Asian genes—there’s probably some correlation there. I learned a few nifty tricks while I was working there, like how to refill the soda concentrate in the soda fountain and how to spot counterfeit bills like a pro. To this day, I hold big bills to the light to check for watermarks. Would it surprise you if I told you that my favorite shift was working at the bakery? No, I didn’t think so either. I mean, coffee and sweets for days! For the most part, I fought the temptation to throw money on everything there. Lemon bars were my Achilles’ heel though. The first time I sunk my teeth into that thick, luscious layer of baked lemon curd felt like citrus heaven. I probably added new cavities every time I devoured one of those 2 x 2 squares of lemony gold. It’s a sin that I have never made any lemon bars at home, so we’re going to correct that with some baby steps, starting with this sweet lime curd. I based it off this delicious meyer lemon curd recipe from Hungry Girl Por Vida and cut down on the sugar and butter. Instead of going all sweet lime, I added one lemon in here for some tartness. A citrus curd just ain’t right without a bit of tart flavor. I could have just incorporated the sweet lime curd into a dessert bar, but my cravings were pointing towards a breakfast dish. Bring on the pancakes! By now, you probably know how much I enjoy using soy milk to cook my pancakes. I do it on the regular. Silk’s soy milk is a great substitute for regular milk because it has the same creamy consistency minus the cholesterol and way less saturated fat. Plus, Silk’s soy milk adds natural, plant-based protein to the pancakes—we’re talking 8 grams of protein per serving! More protein = more filling meals = no more hangry Lisa. You don’t want to see me when I’m hangry. If you haven’t tried Silk’s soy milk yet, what are you waiting for? Click here to receive free coupon on your next soy milk purchase.
