  2. I have not posted my recipe - I haven't for two reasons - cause I am selling them and because I am freaked out to tell someone how to do them in their kitchen with their style oven, altitude, humidity, etc.
    They are the most finicky things I have EVER made!
    I am considering it though since I KNOW not everyone is going to pay a dollar something for a macaron!!!
    Thanks for stopping by!!!!
