Posted on 28th of May, 2011 by Lévana
Not so distant cousins of the French Macaroons, meringues are ethereally light and fragrant.

Zucchini Walnut Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe

I love the idea of quickbreads, whipped up at the drop of a hat, ready for guests and us on short notice, no kneading and no rising time. The added bonus is that they are only moderately sweet, placing them in the category of real foods rather than desserts, even...
