I recently started eating gluten free, I had originally thought I was lactose intolerant, but gluten free made me feel SO much better. I have hunted all over for recipes for my sweet tooth, here is one that is not only sweet but could be made into CHOCOLATE Macaroons with a little ingenuity! This recipe was so quick, it took longer to take out and put away the ingredients than to mix it up.
