Carmagetton Crazy for Berries a #Gluten Free Dessert


Part One of the Mullholand Bridge was demolished last year and our local freeway closed for three days. Now on to Part Two this year the second half will be demolished so they can complete the bridge construction over the 405 freeway. We live about five minutes from the closed 405 freeway and were told over and over do not get on the freeway unless absolutely necessary. We have decided once again to hunker down for the weekend but on Saturday night we will entertain a couple old friends and one of our neighbors.  In honor of the road closure I designed this road of egg whites swirling round and round with berries and whipped cream plus the love of being homebound all weekend for cooking  and creating new deserts and recipes like this one.

  1. I love meringues. I make them a lot. They're light and sweet and aren't filling after a big meal. They look great.
