Oh macarons, you petit french cookie why do you have to be so friggin hard to make. do you hate me because I love you...

During the past two days I was on a mission to find a cure to my macaron disasters.. Day 1 I was over excited thinking that I was going to magically whip out a perfect batch of these crisp and meringue like pastries. Reality check. I got burnt flat pancake like things. As the day went along I figured that I needed a new recipe, but lazied myself to bed...Day 2 I googled and googled. which led me to a bloggergirl who found a recipe for macarons that uses a more stable meringue in the batter. which change my troubles a bit, but the first batch came out a little semi-sad faced. With my mind set on this recipe and after tinkering a bit(using all whites in the meringue)and promising myself to make a decent batch of macarons by the end of the day I accomplished my life long dream, well the dreams for this week. To make macarons that would satisfy any sad heart and don't they look effortless? Well they weren't..

some mores

On the walk home after school. I had one of those half hour daydreams about making sexy delicious desserts. Creamy and rich, but when i finally got home my energy was gone, but my enthusiasm still remained. So not wanting to spend hours whipping a cake from scratch my lazy bone decided it was s'mores time! Luckily I already had everything to pull it off and a little extra, toffee fragments and macadamia nut crumbs.

The macadamia nuts were my favorite and I love how easily this little campfire treat always warms my body. Mmmmh
