I received this book from a good friend this Christmas:
thanks Jenn
because she knows how much I do love them:)
she even brought me TWO boxes of macarons when I was expecting... because that's what friends do!
anyhow... I haven't made any up to today... but I had to get my mind off of how I'm looming to 2 weeks overdue... so this was a great distraction today... and totally worth the EASY EFFORT!
If you haven't made macarons... don't be intimidated!! they ARE easy!!!
We even made our own fresh organic lemon curd and strawberry filling for the inside... (when I saw "we" I mean my lovely daughter and I)
our strawberry jam-type filling macaron
yes... I know that they are flat... (I don't care... and if you do... then I still don't care:)
our homemade organic lemon curd filled macaron
yum — o — ramma
no... they aren't perfect... but neither am I... and I don't care if they footed well or whatever
they were so fun and easy to make and I see many more happy days ahead in the kitchen making these cookies
some people 'scoff' at a 'not so perfectly made' macaron... seriously?
who gives a darn!
get in that kitchen and try something different... something you have been wanting to do...
it's only sugar and almonds for pete's sake
enjoy that kitchen!! (p.s. it's a heck of lot cheaper than buying them at Trader Joe's too... AND you know what's in them!)
xo+blessings,
