I hope everyone is having a fabtabulous weekend- I know I am.
Lots of people seemed to be interested in the macaroon recipe so I thought I would post it up. I got the recipe from The Whole Truth by Andrea Beaman:
Coconut Almond Macaroons
- 2 egg whites
- 1/4 cup granulated cane juice ( I used Wholesome Sweetners Organic Sucanat)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup roasted almonds, minced
- 1 1/2 cup dried shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- Pinch of sea salt
Preheat your ov to 325 and line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Beat the egg whites until they are foamy. Add vanilla extract, granulated cane juice and salt. Combine with shredded coconut and almonds. Drop batter by the tablespoon on to the cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the gems are golden brown. It makes about 20 macaroons at about 50 calories per cookie.
YUM YUM YUM!
In other news.. I got a new camera. Circuit City was having it’s going out of business sale and I snagged a Cannon SD990 for such a good deal. I am super excited- my pictures are looking lovely. Although, I’ve been taking more of friends than of food… so I don’t really have anything to post today 
Plus I need to read the guide a little more. I’ve always had a Kodak and the Cannon interface is a bit different. Soon enough you all will get to see the new camera in action.
I’m headed to DC tonight for ladies night with a bunch of awesome girls. Can’t wait!
