Guess What I did Today...

 Aside from gain 400 pounds...




I think I officially can say, "I make macarons"  It's been a long week, lots of egg whites and almonds but I think I've got it!
Oh girls, these are as good as they look.  
Sinfully good. 
 (And Gluten Free for my GF family and friends!)
I feel like Juliette Binoche in Chocolat trying to sabotage your Lent! 
Wouldn't these be lovely as a gift for a friend instead of an Easter Basket?
Hmmmmmm....

As soon as you have a batch up for sale I'm going to buy some with the excuse that they are for my son. ;)

V- I updated the post but they are GF!!!! Yee hee!

Bonnie said...

I've never had one of those and they look so incredibly good! I can't find them anywhere in the stores here in Los Angeles. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places. Yours look beautiful enough to be in a fine French bakery! Is the recipe a secret? ;)

I'm sure those are DELISH...I've never had a french macaroon...I know, so Midwestern. But I wanted to make sure you knew HOW BEAUTIFUL they are in their picture. You do wonderful work!

They look so delightful and yummy and happy!

Joy said...

Cool idea! And they look luscious! And that reminds me, I want to pick up a DVD of Chocolat--I loved that movie. And Johnny Depp didn't look too bad either.

My Casa Bella said...

GF!!! Did you convert the original recipe to be GF or is there actually a GF recipe for these? I'm doing GF and its hard to find goodies that taste good. How exciting!! I didn't realize you cook GF, is this personal preference or needed in your household? MMMM, they look so good.
congrats on this wonderful accomplishment, you made these with three little children at home...wonderful

I saw you at Jonis blog, Old Cent farmhouse and had to say HI. Love your blog title and I can relate. My intersts, in life, can be so very polar opposite as well. I love to ride horseback yet also love attending High Tea.

You have some amazing photos here lady! Those look delightful.

These look heavenly! I avoid flour when I can so GF is a plus.
These really do present nicely. Very tempting!

Bonjour,
These looks so delicious, how do you find the time? I have been collecting macaron recipes but have yet to work up the nerve to actually attempt it. Here in Paris I'm forever inventing excuses for running to the store for something or other and as soon as I hit the streets I make a beeline to the closest patisserie - of course I've been getting the mini macarons so that it dosen't really county right?
Seriously you are amazing, and I've just found your French bread recipe that I am going to try. Do you think you could let have a peek at this recipe? I know you are busy, busy and I so appreciate you taking time to visit and your kind comment. How is that new baby and big brother and sister?
Bonne Sunday!

The Norwegian said...

Oooh, La La! I think you've done it! I went to the Laduree website to educate myself. Your macaron look tres jolie to me. La pied...aahh, the details. If you get these perfected and put them on Etsy I may have to try them. What a charming endeavor! I am all about things British so would have to go to Laduree Londres - which I'd love to do!

annie said...

It's only about 15 minutes and I can be there!!
Surely someone OUTSIDE of the family need to REALLY taste test these!
PLEASE???!!!!

Victoria said...

I can now attest that these are wonderful! The pistachio are the best so far.

eatlotsachocolate said...

Fabulous!! I love those things, I have an adopted grandson that travels to Paris often and has brought me many of these delectable treats. Your's are evry bit as gorgeous and I would bet just as delcious.
Hope you come by and check out my blog. Happy Macarooning
