"Here is the recipe for Lemon Oatmeal Bars requested by Debbie Clarkston of Detroit. I've been making these for years. They're a family favorite," wrote Chris Kobus of Fox Chapel.

PG TESTED

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/4 cups oatmeal
• Juice of 3 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
• Zest of 2 lemons, finely chopped
• Zest of 1 orange, finely chopped
• 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar, add flour and oatmeal to make a slightly crumbly dough. Set aside. In a medium bowl, stir juice and zest into sweetened condensed milk. Set aside.

Butter or spray a 9-by-13-inch pan. Press ²/₃ to  3/4 cup of dough onto the bottom of the pan. Spread lemon/milk mixture evenly over the top of the dough. Sprinkle the remaining dough, like streusel, over the mixture. Press down lightly to make sure streusel clings.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden. Cool completely on rack and cut into 1 inch squares.

Makes 48 1-inch square bars.

Judy Thompson, Washington, Pa.: "I am looking for an Italian cookie recipe with wine as one of the ingredients. It is deep-fried and sort of shaped like a cavatelli. Honey is poured over the cookies after they're deep-fried. If any of your readers have this recipe I would appreciate it."

Agnes DiBiagio of Bedford: "I would like to have a recipe for alfredo sauce."

Michele Bloom, Maryland.: "I am not Italian but grew up in an area of Ohio where there was a large Italian population. The wedding soup included little squares that looked like bread cubes but were made with a lot of egg and cheese. I have misplaced the recipe. I know it had a lot of mozzarella cheese, Romano cheese, eggs, flour and baking powder."
