Saving money for a rainy day
I know how impossible it can be to save any extra money. I was in a position in my life for many years where I could barely make payments on what I did have. Buying a gallon of milk was out of the question some days.
I still have not been approved for unemployment. I can’t even imagine how stressed I would be had I not been saving an “emergency fund” over the past few years.
Make it a priority in your life to put anything you can away, even if it’s just your spare change.
How to make Keto Lemon Meringue Thumbprint Cookies
Make the lemon curd and allow to cool completely.
In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or in large bowl with a mixer, whisk room temperature eggs with cream of tartar until they reach a medium peak. Then, add the salt, sweetener and extract and whisk until they are at a stiff peak.
Have a cookie pan lined with parchment paper ready. Using a spoon, spoon the batter out on to the paper, then run the back of the spoon through the middle, making a divot. Don’t make the divot all the way down to the paper.
Repeat until your pan is full. Bake at 200 degrees for 70-75 minutes.
When the cookies have cooled, carefully remove from the pan. Fill each divot with the chilled lemon curd. Garnish with fresh blueberries.
