“Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner” Dirty Dancing Lemon Bars for Movie Monday

January 22, 2018 6 Comments

216shares

It’s that time again- Movie Monday!
This month’s theme was Romance so naturally I chose a classic: Dirty Dancing.

This hit came out in 1987 and stared dreamy Patrick Swayze as a resort dance instructor and Jennifer Grey as “Baby”, his lucky new dance partner for the summer. It featured a final memorable dance to “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” and pretty much made every girl that year fall head over heels for Mr. Patrick Swayze!

These gooey lemon bars, layered with fresh lemon and a buttery shortbread crust, are a delicious treat year round! Perfect for sharing with your loved ones on movie night! Inspired by “Dirty Dancing” for Movie Monday, you are going to love these ‘Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner’ Lemon Bars!


On the last (or fourth) Monday of each month, a group of bloggers participate in a #MovieMondayChallenge, hosted by C’mon Get Crafty! We decide on a topic, genre, or specific movie to use for inspiration and everyone gets free reign to create something wonderful!

 

This month’s challenge was. . . . Romance!
Everyone was allowed to choose their own favorite romantic film for this challenge.
Now let’s see what everyone else was inspired to create for this month’s #MovieMondayChallenge!! If you’d like to join our Facebook group, you can request an invite here.

Ingredients: 

Makes 15-20 bars

For the crust:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup cold {2 sticks} butter, cubed
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For the filling:

  • 4 eggs, room temp
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 lemons, juiced and zested {about 8 tbsp of juice}
  • powdered sugar, for dusting
Optional: small plastic baby decorations

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. Grease a 9-x13 inch baking dish with butter.
  3. Sift together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt. 
  4. Add the butter to the bowl and use your hands {or a pastry cutter} to cut it all together until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. You can also use a food processor.
  5. Press into the prepared pan and bake until golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  6. For the filling: in a medium bowl stir together the sugar and flour. 
  7. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.
  8. Add the lemon zest and juice and mix until combined. 
  9. Pour over the crust and bake 25 minutes.
  10. Let cool completely.
  11. Sift powdered sugar over the top.
  12. Cut into squares.
  13. Carefully remove to a serving platter.
  14. Add a plastic baby to each corner of the lemon bars. 



 

Sift together the flour, powdered sugar, and salt.

Add the butter to the bowl and use your hands {or a pastry cutter} to mix it all together

The mixture should resemble fine crumbs. You can also use a food processor.

Butter the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking dish.

Press into the prepared pan.
 Bake at 350 degrees until golden around the edges, about 20 minutes.

Let cool slightly.

For the filling: in a medium bowl stir together the sugar and flour.

Add the eggs and whisk until smooth.

Add the lemon zest

..and the juice from the 4 lemons. Mix well.

Pour over the crust.

Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

 Let cool completely.

 Sift powdered sugar over the top.

 You can never have too much sugar, right?! Haha.

 Cut into squares.

Carefully remove to a serving platter or plate.

Add a plastic baby to each corner of the lemon bars. 

 These are fun to serve on movie night at home but also for 80’s themed parties!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored
