Teacher Gifts.

Its that time of year, the best time of the year SUMMER. My kids have two days of school and I'm scrabbling to come up with a affordable teacher gifts. My go to gift is usually a beautiful beach towel, a fun Essie fingernail polish and a magazine however this year I can't afford it so its time to be creative. I've wanted to make French macaroons forever and finally attempted today. I followed this recipe http://www.homecookingadventure.com/recipes/chocolate-macarons-with-salted-caramel-filling and they surprisingly turned out well. I can't wait to try them!
Look how pretty

 

I also made chocolate bark that a friends mother makes, here's the recipe.
2 packages dark chocolate morsels
1/2 cup of salted peanuts
1/2 cup almond slivers
3/4 cup peanut butter
Sea Salt

Melt the chocolate in the microwave and then stir in the nuts, pour mixture into a 9x13" pan lined in parchment paper. Next, swirl in peanut butter and sprinkle sea salt over. place in refrigerator until it harden,s break, then place in Tupperware and keep refrigerated.


I love this blog http://www.youaremyfave.com/category/in-a-box/ and think copying her "in a box" theme for summer would be adorable. A fun nail polish, sunscreen, salt water taffy, a sonic gift card, magazine and a towel (if it fits) would be amazing, if I was made of $$.
Later.
