happy 4th of july

Wishing you all a lovely 4th of July weekend. Hope you'll be out soaking in the summer sun (don't forget the sun block) and enjoying some delicious eating. Whatever you'll be having, be sure to leave room for dessert! Here's a great dessert flag idea and an easy peasy DIY project for you. Now your dessert can look as good as it taste.

currently lovin': tj's french macarons

I got these macarons at Trader Joe's and it was just divine, best paired with hot tea (yumm).

I have always had this fascination with French macarons and had the notion that they could only be made to taste/look great when made by a pastry chef (preferably from France). Therefore, I always bought them until I found this how to instruction from Here Comes the Sun. She offers a step by step guide accompanied by pictures (pictures always helps). And to my surprise, it actually looks simple and doable.

pretty party

Friday is here and it came fast (no complaints here) and it's Father's Day weekend. I haven't checked the weather but I'm crossing my fingers that there will be some sun out as my family is planning to go to a lake for some BBQ per my step dad's request. I think there should be a Daughter's Day so that I can request that we have a pretty tea party in an all white space and everyone attending must wear pretty pastels...
