Got breakfast at @holypaulette with a great vibe and people and home cooked products, including the carrot almond and vanilla jam!

This cute place is less than 20 min drive from home, by the sea where we dropped my dad's ashes 3 years ago. 💞

What do you do with spare egg white? 🥚🍳🤔 What do you do with spare egg white? 🥚🍳🤔

We love eating spaghetti carbonara and often throw in 2 egg yolks. How not to waste the white?

Coconut Macaroons (Congolais Coco) are the easiest and quickest as they only need 3 ingredients:

1️⃣ 2 egg white
2️⃣ 90 g sugar (you use vanilla sugar in the mix)
3️⃣ 100 g grated coconut 🥥 

Preheat your oven at 180°C

Whisk the egg, firmly or not, based on how lazy you are, mix it with the other two ingredients, and make small pyramids on your baking tray.

Bake for 11 min and voilà! 😋 perfect for afternoon tea.
