Are macaroons the new cup cake?

A few weeks ago my parents were visiting and my mother declared that ‘macaroons are the new cup cake’. That’s funny I thought and dragged out the Wednesday Canberra Times Food & Wine magazine with a cover photo of, you guessed it, macaroons. Does this happen to you?

Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Dark Green

Colour Me Happy Wednesday :: Chocolate

I think the word comfort comes to mind when choosing my top three today. This is very fitting as it’s cold and raining outside and the little one and I have braved the cold to visit the markets, eat blueberry muffins, drink hot chocolate (him) and buy ‘secret chocolate’ (aka Green & Blacks Maya Gold) [...]
