Mararons for Brunch

August 26, 2014 Julien Garman

Brunch, one of my favorite meals of the week. Typically enjoyed on an early Sunday morning, brunch is a time when the hubs and I really get to catch up on tech news, the week’s struggles and daydream about our future home. But best of all, it’s a time when we get to do something special for each other and enjoy the awesomeness that is all-things-breakfast.

Shawn is in charge of the coffee. Always. He works his chemex magic and I am typically in charge of something smaller, like the veggie bacon. Oh and decorating the brunch table. That’s very important too.

Last Sunday, we enjoyed something extra special with our brunch - some ridiculously tasty macarons from J.Macaron. I’m always wary of trying macarons because I’ve become quite the macaron snob. Needless to say, I almost cried tears of happiness upon biting into these. I won’t even try to explain how amazing they are because no words can express the pure joy you’ll feel when you try them. Please do yourself a favor and be the star of your labor day party by ordering a dozen or two. Or more. I’d recommend more. If you want to taste them before you order, head to the Blogger Scene party tomorrow, where they’ll be placed in the first 50 goodie bags. But just know, I’ll be racing you there.

A big, huge, ginormous thanks to Jessica of J.Macaron for sending these macarons over for me to try! As always, all opinions are my own and my opinion of these macarons is that they are awesome...in case you didn't get the point above...
