This week Connor is attending Boy Scout camp with his buds!! Especially Raj & Christopher (his BFF!) 
So it has been a perfect week for Brit & I to attempt some of our fav French delicacies!!! Brit is on summer hiatus from University & Connor is in summer camp so time has presented itself for us to tackle French Macarons!!!! These delish little pieces of heaven proved to be as fun to make as they are to eat!!! ( or maybe I just enjoyed baking with my princess!!) 
We couldn't find almond flour so we made our own in the food processor.
Next we sifted our almond flour and confectioners sugar together.
Then it was time for whisking egg whites in our trusty mixer.
We decided on pink for our first batch natch ;-)
And with that... Voila!!
Our very first Macarons were born!!!
As you can see we chose chocolate ganache as our first filling (these are Connors personal fav!) several colorful batches later we had a rainbow of little lovelies!
And when I get home from my lunch outing, Brittany and I will attempt Ratatouille!! We are having family movie night and you guessed it... Disneys Ratatouille is our movie of choice. I'll keep you posted as to how our next French recipe turns out, wish me luck!!! TTYL <3They aren't difficult per se as much as time consuming and very delicate, if you are not careful cracks can happen but never fear, even the ones that don't look the prettiest still taste AMAZING!!
I have also decided that what I need most with my Macarons is French pressed coffee! So you guessed it... I conquered this yummyness next!!!
It is easy!!! And yet tastes so fancy!!
Our tour of french cuisine continues!! Tonight for dinner Brittany conquered Julia Childs Bouef Bourguignon!!! So our home smells divine & we can't wait for dinner. 
Tomorrow I'm off to lunch with a dear friend, Anitha, at Christopher's Kitchen in Palm Beach Gardens
