Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to my Blog. This was formed out of a group I started for people (all women for now) who suffer from food allergies/restrictions or have children who do in Mid-Missouri. I will share information, recipes, antidotes, and about everything in between! I hope what I share will inspire, motivate, encourage you or just make you laugh!

Food, Glorious Food!

It's been a little bit since I posted a recipe, so I thought why not share a little somethin', somethin'!  If you have any requests for recipes or items to be adapted, please let me know.  I am always looking for a new challenge!

It's no secret that I love desserts!  So, when I found this recipe, I thought why not give it a shot.  Let me tell ya, these delightful little nuggets are delish!!  Some  of you may recognize them from the Mother's Only Luncheon.  I cannot have almonds any longer, but if you can, by all means, enjoy!!

Coconut-Almond Macaroons

1/3 Cup Sugar (I would use raw sugar, normally I prefer honey, but it might mess up the texture here)
1 Large Egg White
1 Cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1/4 Cup Slivered Almonds, broken into small pieces
1/2 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Sea Salt
1/4 Cup Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, melted (could totally leave off and still be delicious)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Whisk together sugar and egg white in a large bowl.  Stir in the remaining ingredients.

Spoon or use a small cookie scoop to make 12 small mounds, and drop each onto sheet, 2 inches apart.  Bake macaroons until golden-brown on bottoms and edges, about 15 minutes.  Let cool on sheet for 5 minutes.  Transfer to wire racks, and let cool.  using a spoon, drizzle melted chocolate over cooled macaroons.

Macaroons will keep, covered, for up to 1 week.

Each cookie is only 108 calories (with chocolate)!

Sorry, I don't have any pictures this time.
