Pink and Green Macarons

Using this Martha Stewart recipe, here are some pictures of pistachio macarons and regular pink macarons with raspberry jam filling. The pistachio ones were made by replacing 1/4 cup of almond flour with finely ground up pistachios and added green food coloring.

Almond and pistachio flours. I definitely recommend sifting everything as many times as the recipe says-it really helps.

Left over ground pistachios were used as a topping for half of the green ones.

Mini macarons for fun.

All paired up.

Peanut Butter Caramel Twix Bars

Averie over from Averie Cooks posted this delicious looking recipe for peanut butter caramel Twix bars that my sister tried making with her friends. They were yummy, but not the best, so we went ahead and tried it again and here they are. Amazingly delicious diabetes-in-a-bite bars. Seriously easy and probably won't be lasting long. At all.

Look at that smooth chocolate.

Side view. The foil made it look funky.
