Coconut macaroons

4 egg whites at room temperature
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups desiccated medium shredded coconut **
1/2 cup cake flour ***

Whisk the egg whites, sugar and salt over a double broiler until it is creamy and white.
Mix the flour and coconut to the warm egg mixture. Cover with a cling film and leave it in the fridge for about 1 to 2 hours until it firms up.

Place 1 tbsp with a scoop in an ungreased baking sheet, do not flat it has to be in a mound. Bake the macaroons a preheated oven at 325F for 15 to 20 minutes until it is golden brown. Leave it in the baking sheet until it has cooled as it will firm up after removing from the oven, so don't leave it in the oven for a long time, 15 minutes of baking was sufficient for me.


* If you aren't using vanilla flavoured sugar, use 1 tsp vanilla just before mixing the flour.
** You can use either sweetened or unsweetened I used 1/2 of each.
*** To make cake flour use 3/4 cup all purpose flour mixed with 2 tbsp cornstarch this will make 1 cup of cake flour (halve it for this recipe or save it for later)

Wondering what to do with the yolks, here is an option to make zabaglione custard cream for tiramisu.

Egg appetizers

6 eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp yellow mustard seeds ground
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt to taste
Italian seasoning to garnish

Hard boil the eggs, cool and then peel the eggshell.
Cut the egg vertically into two, it helps if the egg is cool. Carefully remove the yolks and put it in a bowl. Add mayonnaise, ground yellow mustard seeds, salt and pepper. Mix everything till it is a smooth paste. Put the mixture into an icing bag with 1M or 2D tip and pipe inside the egg whites.
Garnish with Italian seasoning. And serve at room temperature or chilled.

Libre glass'n poly tea review and event with a giveaway

Libre tea glass'n poly is a lovely way to enjoy your loose tea on the go. You can carry this in your bag and have your favourite hot beverage anywhere, anytime. There is a stainless steel strainer to keep even the finest tea leaves out. Use soap and warm water to clean.

The interior is made of glass, and the exterior is poly (which is thermoplastic that is shatter resistant). It is BPA free and doesn't leak. It will keep the tea hot and the glass is cold to the touch. This is amazing because I almost thought the tea is not hot, although it was; so handle with care. Keep this away from children and do not use in the microwave.
It is eco-friendly to use loose tea than using tea bags. We all have heard the benefits of drinking tea i.e. it has antioxidants that neutralize cells, prepares immune systems to fight infections, lowers risk of kidney stones, heart disease, weight loss, helps the tooth enamel and increase metabolism.

Libre tea glass'n poly would be a perfect gift to give for valentines' day :) Even if you are not a fan of tea, you will love this Libre glass to enjoy your favourite beverage hot without worrying about it becoming cold. You can buy it online and from many stores in Canada and USA.

I am glad I got the opportunity to tell you to about this fabulous Libre glass'n poly. Thanks to the sponsors you also have a chance of winning this libre tea glass'n poly (holds 9 oz).
This giveaway ends on February 6th and is open to Canada and USA.
