Black and White Chocolate Chip Meringues
Some of my favorite varieties of meringue cookies include the Chocolate Chip Clouds, Sprinkle Dipped Meringues, Coconut Meringues and Peppermint Meringues.
Sweet treats and some sweet news! Life is pretty hectic these days in my home, but I’m not complaining, I love every minute of it. Here’s a little peek into a typical day in my world. My sweet little one year old is at the stage where she wants wants “mama” all day long, especially whenever I’m in the kitchen about to cook, this is usually what I see when I look down… My sweet little pup is usually hanging around waiting for some food to fall on the floor which seems to happen a lot lately… When my teen isn’t busy with homework and college hunting, you can usually find her baking something sweet in my kitchen for her friends or for Skinnytaste (but never without her iPod and cell phone!) Lately finding time to cook, photograph and post recipes has been my biggest challenge. I have so many ideas and recipes in my head, just not enough hours in the day to make them. You are all such wonderful followers, you’ve been spreading the word about my site on Facebook, Twitter, meetings, community boards, voting for me in blog contests, and I really can’t thank you enough so I’m sure you will like what I’m about to tell you… Sweet News and a Sweet Recipe! I’ve decided to leave my day job to spend more time with my family, children and yes, Skinnytaste. It’s a sweet new chapter in my book of life and I’m very excited about what’s to come. I’ve always loved my career in photo retouching, I’ve had the pleasure to work with some fierce talent and it’s sad to see that behind me, but I feel good things ahead and hopefully I’ll have more time to cook. And now for these sweet treats… Black and white chocolate chip meringue cookies are the perfect fix to cure your sweet tooth. They are light and airy and melt in your mouth and somehow get better with time. I like to make them the night before and store them in an air tight container, the next day they are nice and chewy and even chewier the day after. Low fat, gluten-free and delicious! Make sure your bowls and spatulas are squeaky clean, your egg whites are room temperature and you use a metal bowl to guarantee success.
