Happy Canada Day everyone! I hope it was an enjoyable day. I was hoping to go see the fireworks tonight, but the little one just seemed so content at home, so we just decided to put him to bed. It’s funny how life changes after you have kids. Before you were always on the go, and now you’re in bed by 9PM.

Anyway, today was supposed to be my baking day, but since my allergies were acting up yesterday I didn’t get a chance to get all my ingredients from the store so I had to settle for making my Easy Chocolate Macaroons. These usually disappear as fast as I can make them in our house and since I can whip up a batch in 15-20 minutes (start to finish), it’s definately a household favorite.
