Coconut Macaroons (Gluten-Free)

November 29, 2014

Coconut Macaroons

These gluten free coconut macaroons are SO easy to make and SO impressive! They’re moist, chewy and absolutely delicious. You can whip these up for last minute company in under 20 minutes with a few simple ingredients. Even better, they are naturally gluten-free with no fancy ingredients required: just make sure your coconut is produced in a wheat-free plant (it will not have the disclaimer for wheat). Enjoy!

    Hi, I’m just wondering which brand of coconut you used to be sure it was gluten free…. all the ones I have found either don’t specify, or say may contain wheat etc. Thanks!

      Hi Teresa,

      Yes you are right, most of them either don’t specify or are made in the same plant as wheat products! Here is a source for you. Happy baking!

Priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been thinking about them a lot these last few days. I’ve been reading the book ‘Untamed’ by @glennondoyle (have you read it? love to hear your thoughts), and it’s made me really think.  It made me think about my childhood, my relationships (including the one with myself) and what I want to put out to the world in the short time I have here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My last post was sharing our story of my dad’s journey with  Alzheimer’s. We are so lucky to have him at such an early stage of the disease, fully himself.  He is such a gift to us and the world. In sharing this story a floodgate of touching yet heart-wrenching stories poured in.  My heart expanded and broke at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jillian posted something about high functioning anxiety the other day, and I checked most (ok all) of those boxes ... ugh.  The irony is that I live a lot in the future, a little busy body, not really taking the time to enjoy the present - but one day, should I have the same disease as my dad (50% chance), I will truly only have the capacity to live in that moment.  It stopped me dead in my tracks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I wade into 2021 I am doing my best to realign my life to match my priorities - perfect balance isn’t what I’m after, that’s nonsense as far as I’m concerned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A little deep for a Tuesday but that’s where my brain is at today!  Sending love ... as always. ❤️

Without a doubt the most difficult blog post I have ever written.  My sweet incredible funny kind loving dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a diagnosis that tore my heart in two. This is our story.  The post is on the blog FraicheLiving.com 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.  Sending you all love, especially those who have been impacted by this disease. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We remain hopeful, and are reminded on the daily to not take life for granted. ❤️

Travels with this crew... 🤍
My parents & Jillian’s (our moms are sisters) have always travelled together and have had THE MOST incredible adventures (our dads are ridiculously witty - literally the funniest humans). Looking back I can guarantee that those are some of their best memories.
I’m so grateful that we got to do the same last year - I can’t wait for another trip!  And might I say that I wish I was eating my lunch in this spot today!  Thank you again @nimmobayresort

I don’t do resolutions but love having a word to guide my year - I’m having a hard time picking just one this year. I think I got this idea from my friend @jenniferwilson.co ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While being focussed and more organized is always on my list, they don’t really seem to feel right.  With the boys growing so quickly and the reality of aging sinking in, especially with my dad having Alzheimer’s, I feel that time has never been more precious. I’m always finding myself trying to fit one more chore in or sneak in that extra email ... but really, why?  This will be the year of more snuggles for me, more campfires, glasses of wine with my loved ones over good food ... more memories. I worry that one day soon Charlie won’t want to snuggle me and it breaks my heart. 

I took a break from being on IG stories over the holidays and it was such a gift - I love being on the platform but there sure is a balance between being ‘on’ and being present. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I think this year my word will be FAMILY ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would your ONE word be this year??
