She also added a recipe for gefillte fish. I'll post that one tomorrow. More power to you, Jess.
Macaroons – Jess said she thinks she found this recipe somewhere on about.com.
INGREDIENTS:
5 cups flaked sweetened coconut
3 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicon mats or parchment sprayed with cooking spray.
Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Scoop out 1 inch mounds, placed about 1 inch apart, on a lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes, until just turning brown. Cool and store in a sealed container between sheets of waxed or parchment paper.
The macaroons will keep nicely for several days. Variation: Divide the coconut mixture in half, and add the chips to one half, leaving the other half plain. Adding cocoa powder also works, but you'll have to experiment with the amount until they're chocolaty enough!
I form them into balls with medium pressure, instead of just scoops, to help them hold their shape.
Makes about 5 dozen macaroons.

This sounds delicious. I always thought macaroons would be difficult to prepare. This is quick and easy. Thanks, I'll have to give this a try.
Glad you found a Passover table, Terry! And thanks for the macaroon recipe...sounds delish! :)

Mason, Elizabeth - you'll have to let me know how they turn out! I like the almond ones, although they're still predominantly coconut.
You'll have to come back tomorrow and give me your take on the gefilte fish.
Amazing - a recipie I can make, especially since I have a neighbor who can separate eggs. Gives you an idea of what sort of cook I am. If I'm lucky she'll volunteer her kitchen which means she'll do it all and I can hang out and ooh and ahh!
Thank you Jess - this looks like fun.
