Macaroons For the Road

 Spring 2014 Squam Art Workshops 

festivities begin today!

I am not among the merry creatives this year; 

however, my dear friend Vickie is, so I made her

some coconut macaroons for her 8+ hour drive.

 Each year, coconut macaroons are a highly anticipated 

treat in the Rockywold Dining Room. Mine turned out 

moist and flavorful, although a bit sweeter than what I 

remember indulging in at Squam,

but that just means I'll have to try again...darn!

For my first attempt at the macaroons I turned to my cousin 

Abigail Johnson Dodge's cookbook, Desserts 4 Today.

This is a handy book to have around because the recipes are 

current, fast and include only 4 ingredients. Swoon!

Silky puddings, mouth watering cookies and creative ice creams, 

toasted nuts, seasonal fruits and intriguing whipped creams - 

there's definitely something for every occasion, 

or none at all...which is my favorite.

Squam Lake, fellow Campers, and all that is 

Squam Art Workshops,

I miss you already!

Wishing everyone there an amazingly creative,

supportive and happy time. 

Enjoy the macaroons, the woods and each other. 

(Especially you with the Talismouse - you know!)
