Recipes
Love to try new recipes so if you have some good ones, please share.
Here's a good one for you:
Coconut-Macadamia Kisses
Makes 18 servings, 2 kisses each
3 large egg whites, at room temperature
Pinch salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1 tsp coconut extract (optional - I usually omit)
1 1/2 oz. macadamia nuts (18 nuts), halved (Pecans can be substituted for the macadamia nuts).
1. Preheat oven to 250 degree (Fahrenheit). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. In medium bowl, with mixer on medium speed, combine egg whites and salt; beat until foamy. Gradually beat in sugar, beating until shiny and stiff peaks form when beater is lifted. Fold in coconut and coconut extract (if desired).
3. Into pastry bag fitted with large star tip, spoon meringue mixture. Pipe 36 equal rosettes on prepared baking sheet. (If you do not have a pastry bag, spoon approximately 36 rounded tablespoons of meringue mixture onto prepared baking sheet). Arrange half of a macadamia nut (or pecan) in the center of each rosette.
4. Bake 40 minutes, until edges begin to dry and kisses are lightly browned. Turn oven off; let kisses dry in oven, about 3 hours or overnight, until crisp. Peel paper (or foil) from kisses. Store in air-tight container.
Each serving provides 46 calories, 1 g protein, 6g carbohydrate, 19 mg sodium, 0 mg cholesterol.

Share a verse
Here's one of my favorite passages from the Bible. What's yours?
- Psalm 37:4-6 (NIV) Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Volleyball Rocks!
Love to play volleyball and have coached in the past so here are a few very basic tips for those of you who would like to improve your game. Let me know your favorite volleyball tip too.
- Technique is more important than strength. If you learn the correct way to hit the ball, the tiniest person can play better than the biggest hulk.
- Your mind is your greatest asset on the court. One of the best ways to improve your game is to believe that you can get to every ball. Sometimes people see a ball shanked off in another direction and they give up without trying. You will amaze yourself by how many times you will be able to hit a shanked ball if you believe you can. Even if you only touch it, that will help you with your confidence and you'll get there the next time.
