Citrus Meringues

citrus meringues

I love, love, love meringues. They’re probably my favorite of all french cuisine. I love them poached, I love them baked, I love them as the base for a macaron or a great chocolate cake. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a form of meringue that I don’t love. I like to play around with different flavors depending on the season and these are an amazing way to get you in the mood for spring! Whipped egg whites and sugar infused with vanilla bean and the bright flavor from the zest of citrus, these desserts are not only sensible they are melt-in-your-mouth good! The way they’re colored and then piped also give them a fancy look, and they package up really nicely which makes this a great gift if you’re invited somewhere. After separating the eggs, use the leftover egg yolks to make crème brûlée! Click here to get the recipe and see how they’re made!

Cinnamon Ice Cream


I started making my own ice cream a few years ago and nothing beats it for a number of reasons… it tastes better, you know exactly what is and isn’t in it, it’s a lot cheaper to make and it is so easy! I made this cinnamon ice cream to go along with the apple pie that I made last weekend and it was the PERFECT combination. I had some left over so one night this week I made caramel sauce, hollowed out some apples and served the ice cream in them with the sauce and walnuts on top (pictured to the left here)… they were incredible! A lot of people are intimidated by the thought of making their own ice cream but trust me, it couldn’t be any easier. You don’t need a fancy ice cream machine either… I know department stores sell them from $90 ranging all the way to $450, but I gotta tell you… I have a Hamilton Beach one that cost me $25 and it gets the job done just fine!
