* Free: New and Sweet Recipe! *

Do you have the “Good Housekeeping” issue for May 2013? If you can get your hands on this issue – grab it! The reason for getting this issue – the free recipe is from Julianna Margulies – who plays “Alicia Florrick in the Good Wife!”

“Good Housekeeping” did an article about “The Good Wife” – and on page 48 , left bottom corner… it states to tell all of the readers to… “Steal This Sweet!” This is “Julianna’s fave macaroon recipe” and as I was reading that it only takes four (4) ingredients and chocolate chips if you want chocolate icing on top. As I was reading how easy this recipe is to make – just had to try it out – and was so happy with the good and sweet results. So if you to – like coconut and easy recipes – this is the one for you to try, now.

Another way that I use coconut is with “Jello” – I add a can of “Fruit Cocktail” – walnuts and coconut. This is the best dessert for me in the evening and with all of the ingredients that I really like and so good for you!

Since the “Good Wife’s recipe only takes a portion of a can of the sweetened condensed milk – you need a back up recipe – to use the rest of the can. My suggestion – as… this is what I did. Another favorite recipe of mine and for at least thirty years is the “Magic Cookie Bars” – so… this is a very and sweet use…. If you check this recipe out you will find – as I did – cut all the items in half … since you have almost a half can of condensed milk to use. Also I used a glass pie plate and you will find – this is just the right amount of dessert needed. And all of this is so easy and a nice sweet treat in the evening!

If you have a “sweet tooth” and like something quick and easy – try my suggestions! “I’ll be right over – to enjoy with You!” D.V.
