They are SO spoiled and don&#8217;t even know it.  They think it&#8217;s perfectly normal to have a tray of homemade French cookies, Cara Cara oranges and cold milk waiting for you in the car when your mom picks you up from school.  I hope that they get really good jobs when they&#8217;re older, so that they can afford to continue to feed themselves in the manner to which they&#8217;ve become accustomed.  I&#8217;d hate to see them holding up signs someday that says &#8220;Will work for artichokes and French cheese.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_4190.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_4190.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"264\" \/><br \/>\nThe chocolate meringues were definitely the hardest to make and a few of them cracked during baking.  These should be refrigerated, like the other ones, but should be pulled out of the refrigerator a few moments before serving to allow the ganache to warm up a little.  It&#8217;s a little too hard and the flavor is lessened if they are eaten right out of the fridge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the completed, filled chocolate macaroons.
