Tuesday, 11/13/12 - When Hail Merry offered to send me some of their all-natural treats to try, I said I'd love to. Anything but macaroons. I don't really like the taste or texture of macaroons...
They sent me macaroons. Haha!
But boy, am I glad they did! They have a much creamier texture than the macaroons I've had before. The chocolate ones were almost like fudge! Little Z hasn't liked macaroons in the past either. But she loved the one I let her and Baby try... The rest are MINE! So I've been packing them as a treat in my lunches.

This was my first time attempting to freeze guacamole. I used a heart-shaped ice cube tray, just for fun. Plus I don't really have a "regular" shaped one!
The guacamole cubes thawed by lunchtime, but had turned brown. It was fine for me, 'cuz I got my big girl panties on and they tasted normal. But I don't think brown guacamole would fly with Little Miss Pickypants. Too bad. Frozen guacamole shapes would have been a fun addition to our lunch repertoire.
My macaroons came out juuuuuuust fine though!

Love your beautiful colorful salads!! Yum! Thanks for linking up to Meatless Monday!
ReplyDeleteA little bit of lemon juice would probably keep your guac from turning brown. (Or lime!)
