Coconut Macaroons

I’ll be honest: I didn’t nail it right out of the gate. My first batch ended up more like a coconut puddle than the lovely little mountains I envisioned. It’s always a fun adventure in my kitchen! I realized my coconut was too finely shredded, making it hard for the macaroons to hold together. The next time, I grabbed the larger flakes, and voila! Game changer!

Blueberry Compote

So, let me take you back to the first time I decided to make blueberry compote. I was kind of nervous because I wanted to nail it the first time. I remember collecting all the ingredients excitedly, but there was a twist! I accidentally double-measured the sugar, which made it a tad sweeter than I hoped. It was a *surprise* that turned into a fun lesson! After that, I’ve made some adjustments – dialing down the sugar just a bit to let that delicious blueberry flavor shine through.
