Gheza-e-shiriin: Baking Partner May Challenge

Thanks Suja for giving us the wonderful challenge for this month. This summery , lemony tangy bars did for sure uplifted the moody phase I am going through.

I have been off and on in blogging since few months. It's not that, I am not making any food but by the end of the day I am so exhausted and don't feel like doing anything. Feeling kind of lost. Maybe we all go through such phase of life now and then. I need to gear up myself & put my life back on the track.Maybe , I will take a tiny mini vacation to India. Missing my parents a lot nowadays too. Till I make my decision lets enjoy the bars , I made today for our monthly challenge of Baking Partners.
