Peppermint Meringues

Ingredients:

3 large egg whites, room temperature

1/8 tsp. kosher salt

1/3 cup sugar

1/8 tsp. peppermint extract

12 drops of food coloring

     Preheat oven to 200 degrees. line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt on medium-high speed until white and foamy, about 1 minute. With the mixer running, gradually add sugar in 3 additions, beating for 2 minutes between each addition. Beat until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes longer. Add powdered sugar and peppermint extract; Beat to blend, about 1 minute.

     Dot coloring over surface of meringue; DO NOT STIR (the coloring will form swirls when piped). Spoon meringue into a pastry bag, and cut the end about 1/2". (for an alternative use a plastic freezer bag) Twist top; pipe 1"rounds onto prepared sheet, spacing 1" apart.
     Bake meringues until dry, about 2 1/2 hours. Let cool completely, about 1 hour (meringues will crisp as they cool) Do Ahead: Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature between sheets of parchment or waxed paper.

I am making this recipe on Saturday. In the comments, I will share my experience!

Pretty Produce

Difficulty: ***
 Did you know that a rose hides inside every head of celery? Find one with this easy printing project!

First, pull a stalk from a head of celery and set it aside Slice through the head a few inches from the base. *** I used my celery stamp to decorate cards made from white card stock. Place the card on a folded piece of newspaper. Use a sponge brush to dab the cut surface of the celery with red or pink paint, then press it onto the card.

Trim the end of the remaining celery stalk to give it a clean edge. Brush the ends with green paint  and stamp it onto the card twice for each leaf.

*** The closer the base of the head celery you cut, the closer together the rose's petals will be.

Crafts

The types of crafts I will tell you in the future are things made out of house hold items. I like to use ribbon, empty coffee cans, string, etc. I will post many crafts, some more difficult than the others. I will have a number of stars. The more stars it has, the harder the craft is. If you wants a super, simple craft you will look for a one or two star craft.
