I was at the library the morning and stumbled upon this ....
Cooking Light Holiday Cookbook.
Can you say, obsession? Mom, I found a recipe for sweet potato casserole that is wayyy light than what we usually do. Get excited.
So I did what my former library self would do and checked out the book, took it home and found something to make.
Chocolate Chip Meringues
Ingredients:
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons semisweet chocolate minichips
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 300°.
2. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt at high speed of a mixer until soft peaks form.
3. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Sift cocoa over egg white mixture; fold in. 4. Fold in minichips.
I made a few big changes.
**No chocolate chips. I totally am not hating on the chips; I just could find mini chips.
**I added an equivalent amount of mint extract with the vanilla
**I usually 1/2 sugar, 1/2 splenda
**I cut the recipe down to a 1/3 of the orignal, so I can not vouch for the exact accuracy of my product
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper; secure to baking sheet with masking tape. Drop batter by level tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Bake at 300° for 40 minutes or until crisp. Cool on pan on a wire rack. Repeat procedure with remaining batter, reusing parchment paper. Store in an airtight container.

It looks cute, but it was gross.Too many substitions = FAIL. I will stick to the normal recipe next time.
