Lemon Squares
Crust:
1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups flour
Filling:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
6 Tbsp. flour
6 Tbsp. lemon juice
I assume I just have to modify the margarine and the eggs...what's the best way to do this? I haven't done much in the way of cooking for IBS...I used to just eat rice and potatoes all the time!  Now that I've been have D I feel the way fat reacts in my bod...and I want it out of there! Thanks everyone, you're the best!
*hugs* and happy Thursday!

Hi Ruchie - for the eggs, just sub 2 egg whites for each egg. For the crust, I'm not sure. Check on the recipe index under Desserts and there's some other crusts listed - maybe you could replace this crust with one of those? 
Good luck - and if you try it let us know how they come out.

Oh man.. now I have a craving for lemon bars. Will have to make these once I finish off making those anti-depressent brownies that everyone has been raving about.

They sound yummy, but doesn't the margarine bother one's stomach?

Leah, in the recipe Karin posted, there are only 2 tablespoons of margarine. That makes for quite a low-fat recipe.

but I finally noticed tonight when I gave the recipe to someone that I haven't been putting the 1T mix in with the filling! I am so dumb. Incidentally they turn out just fine without it.
