Mac Attack: Pistachio Sprinkled Macarons for Falling for Macarons...It's Fall!


I've wanted to participate in the MacTweets Challenge for a couple of months now, and finally...here I am!!

I am so glad to have 'made' it this month of November, with the MacAttack #13...Falling for Macarons ... It's Fall!

For those who don't know, it's summer all year round where I live so you could say I had to use my imagination and memories of the four Fall seasons I experienced during my college years in the US to soak in the Fall mood for this challenge.

Coincidentally, Fall was my favorite season!! I love the warmly colored autumn foliage of greens, yellows, orange and reds. This inspired my pumpkin-colored macarons sprinkled with pistachios (love the green!).

The macaron madness has definitely caught on me and I'm so glad I found the MacTweets blog and looking forward to future MacTweets challenges!!
