Here in New York we are bracing for a “historic Blizzard” to hit our community. YIKES!! Not really sure exactly what that means but it doesn’t sound good. I thought I would share an AMAZING recipe with you to help wait out the storm. It would be great to try this while you are homebound. I heard making the meringue is tricky, so these next few days are the perfect time to practice! I have a friend who makes this Pavlova for all our pot luck luncheons and it is OUT OF THIS WORLD. The recipe is just too good not to share with my readers. I am hoping that once you make it, it will help you to forget the disaster that is happening outside your windows!!!!!
