pavlova-lova

I made pavlovas. Why? Well, they're relatively easy, cheap and gluten-free. Perfect.

Oh and added benefit is that they are really fancy looking in a simple kind of elegant way...and they're sweet!!! :)

I used the recipe from Joy the Baker. Yes, I am only mildly obsessed with her recipes. I want to make them all!! If you haven't already, familiarize yourself with her recipe index. (avoid doing this when hungry though).

You can find the recipe link here.

I used a filling of thawed blueberries (must make room in the freezer for this year's haul) and bananas. Oh, and whipped cream -- added airiness. 

Don't fear meringues!

Oh and wondered what our patio looks like these days? 

 It's a nice 2-3 feet drop outside the door...

They just now started re-paving the destruction.

For comparison, here are some pictures of how it looked (the last pictures I had taken of the whole patio were from last winter, lol).

I miss our patio. And privacy bushes. :(

Well thanks for reading and happy pavlova making if you are inspired to try it!

Happy weekend!
