Chocolate Chip Meringue

INGREDIENTS
3 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1 cup* semisweet chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whip egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar, vinegar and vanilla while whipping to stiff peaks. Fold in chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are dry.


*The recipe calls for 2 cups- but is way too much in my opinion- (although it probably would make significantly more cookies.) I doubled it- so you won't get quite the mound I have there in the picture if you make just one batch.

Fresh Fruit Crisp

Ingredients:
fresh fruit*
large splash of lemon juice
2 T sugar
generous sprinkle of cinnamon
1 c oats
1/3 c brown sugar
1/2 stick butter melted

Mix fruit, lemon, and sugar and put it in your baking dish.

Mix cinnamon, oats, brown sugar, and melted butter. Sprinkle on top of fruit mixture. Bake at 350 for until golden brown and "crisp"y. I think at least 30 minutes.

*I used cherries and Nectarines. You'll want to adjust your lemon and or sugar to the sweetness of the fruit.
