I’m so in love with macarons but they are very expensive which is why I don’t have them that often. Seriously, you could get a lunchbox for the price of a macaron, and a pretty decent one at that. Anyways, I’d make them myself, but I think they’re way beyond my baking skills. Some day then.
Marvelous is Mindy Kaling’s book “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) .” I’ve never seen The Office but I really liked The Mindy Project. I get so excited and laugh like crazy every time a promo for The Mindy Project comes up, true story. Mindy is just completely hilarious.

Mm the peanut butter bars look SO good, am so jealous you got to eat them for breakfast 😉 I love macaroons too, but they are ridiculously expensive in London too… I’m lucky to get them sometimes as a treat though!

Macarons really are so pricey, so I can’t get them very often. However , it could be a good thing, cuz absence makes the heart fonder or something. Having them once in a while just makes every bite so much better, at least that’s how I feel. 🙂

Those pb bars look delicious. Will have to check out the recipe 🙂
Shawn says
Definitely do. PB and chocolate together is just so good!!!

Those cookie bars look great!
I read Mindy’s book and I hadn’t watched The Office much either. It was a very entertaining read. Found I could relate to a lot of what she was saying on one level or another! Great to know celebrities have a lot of the same insecurities and thoughts as us normal people sometimes 🙂
Shawn says
Yeah, sometimes it seems like celebrities live a perfect life devoid of the problems we regular people have. Love Mindy for keeping it real.

They look delicious, but they might not last long in our house! Like you, I often take away 30-50% of the sugar in recipes and also substitute white flour with wholemeal – things usually turn out much better.
Shawn says
Good to know I’m not the only. Still tastes just as good if not better, and is much healthier.
