We are iced-in today. No school, so the girls are mighty happy. Thought we'd make some heart-shaped meringues - a trial run for Valentine's Day next month...
I used a new (and very simple) recipe that I found on Epicurious. I followed the recipe exactly, but colored the meringue two pretty shades of pink. I piped out my meringue hearts free-hand, but if you are a perfectionist you can trace cookie-cutter hearts onto the back of your parchment paper and use them as templates to follow.
I also sprinkled them with a few of my favorite pastel non-pareils.
As if they weren't sweet enough already. :-)
Happy Tuesday!
XOXO

These hearts look really pretty, I might give them a go too!

We had a 2-hour delay this morning due to horrible freezing rain. I didn't do anything spectacular like this, but I did bring the kids to the store and let them choose the biggest chocolate-covered donuts with sprinkles they could find!

These look so amazing, I probably wouldn't be able to get myself to eat these.

These hearts are absolutely beautiful! I'm kind of in the wrong season now, since it's summer. But I'll bookmark this for my girls to do for Valentine's Day!
