Cookbooks Food Holidays Recipes

I know I’m more than a couple days late sharing a #Holiday that fell on May 31st but I wanted to let you know it was National Macaroon Day #NationalMacaroonDay. Can you believe as much as I love #desserts I’ve never had a Macaron. Have you?

If we were still #Homeschooling we could have studied #French take a learned French instead of Spanish here on Babel. Would you want to join us for a Macaroon which Charlie and I would have been able to make in our #Homeschool Cooking Class.

Learning shouldn’t stop when school is out for the Summer of a child graduates I found a cookbook called French Macarons for Beginners: Foolproof Recipes with 30 Shells and 30 Fillings. My family is going to try and make Macaroons this weekend. Would you want to join us?
