When life gives you flour and eggs

Italians love their dessert.

So much so that you don’t ever have to wonder whether dinner will be followed with desserts. The answer is always a resounding Sí, sí!

This is what it is all about for the Italians--

enjoying homemade food with their family using the freshest ingredients.

 

Growing up in an Italian family we ate a lot!

At every meal dessert was served. Sometimes it was as simple as fresh fruit, other times, Italian cookies or pastries. The Italian recipes passed down to me from generations is something I treasure and love to make.

 

Another passion of mine is macarons.

While living in Oregon, my family and I would eat at a French restaurant that made the best croissants. I purchased my first macaron at La Provence  and thought, I could make this! I experimented with A LOT of recipes and every method (French, Swiss, and Italian). I ended up developing my own recipe using the Italian method and I’ve been baking macarons for about 10 years. 

 

I hold a Texas Food Handlers certificate, insured, and am a Cottage Food Industry Baker. I am located in the Veramendi Community,  

in New Braunfels, Texas.
