Guys! Christmas is just 4 days away! I’m flying back home tomorrow, have not started packing ( -> writing this post turned out to be my priority) and still haven’t bought any Christmas gifts… (oops 🙈) but hey, my vacation just started and I couldn’t be happier to relax and plan plenty of recipes to share with you in the new year 😊
For some reason I had a craving for meringues last week and also desperately wanted Hershey’s sea salt caramel chips (they are so damn good! Run to the store and get some!) And so tada! Sea salt caramel meringues were born! 💛
I had never made meringues before so this was a first. Taste wise, they turned out great! Crispy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside. Shape wise, I have work to do… (I’m lacking skills when it comes to piping and that’s probably why you wont see cupcakes on here for a while 😂)
Maybe those meringues will make an appearance at our Christmas family dinner!
Today I also want to introduce my new little photography helper: Sadie! New addition to the family and she’s the cutest and most adorable puppy ever 😍
If I don’t come back on here till 2018, enjoy the holidays and happy new year!
