I make some Yummy Lemon Bars!

We had some friends over. Their daughter is gluten free. We were only serving deserts.
I googled Gluten free lemon bars. No reason why I just wanted to make them. I found this cool website, www.howtocooklikeyourgrandmother.com Drew writes a blog and posts step by step directions. Thank you Drew Kime for the inspiration!
The Lemon bars were not GF. But they looked very yummy. I scrolled through the comments and someone, asked about making them GF. He gave a suggestion, then someone who is GF gave a recipe for the crust. I used that recipe and tweaked his Lemon Bar filling to reflect my own style. Below is the recipe for the lemon bars, As I made them. I have not made the regular crust, only a GF crust. I added soy free to the title since there are so many people who are eating soy free too. I didn't do anything to make them soy free, they just are.
