Egg Free Lemon Macaroons (Dairy, Gluten/Grain, Egg and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
I know again...another recipe with coconut.  Honestly, I just love coconut's flavor and its health benefits simply an added bonus.  You can't go wrong with a food that helps balance your digestive tract and boosts your immune system.  Did you know coconut can fight against many illnesses such as giardia, urinary tract infections, lice and other parasites?  Coconut oil is also medium chain fat so instead of storing up as fat in the body it creates energy instead.  So all this being said, I will keep making coconut recipes.  This one was a real hit with the girls and I am happy it is school safe as well.
