Meringues

I wanted to make this purely because they looked simple, not realizing how much my sister and I would enjoy these! It only has three ingredients, and a whole lot of arm power if you don't have a mixer like me. These were light, crispy, foamy, chewy, such a great recipe to make for something sweet with few calories.
