Lemon Meringue Pie Cookies

Sometimes when I’m looking for recipe inspiration, I like to make things into other things.  Confused yet?

Pastel Swirl Meringues

The other day I made vanilla mousse with rainbow sprinkles, and apart from the fact that it was delicious, it left me with a lot of egg whites.  And if you’ve read some of my posts before, you know how I take pride in using up leftovers.  Like how I always use leftover frosting, and how I like to smother aging bananas in caramel.  

Meringues were a natural choice when it came to using up egg whites.  Fyi you can freeze eggs whites in an ice cube tray and then transfer to a zip bag once frozen to store, but my ice cube trays are currently full of ice.  Go figure.

I am done with winter.   Totally over it.  I am dreaming of leaving the house without having to put on a coat and a scarf and a hat and mittens.  I am dreaming of patios and tank tops and sandals.  I am dreaming of juicy summer fruit and airy whipped cream.
