New Daring Baker: Moi!

Recently, after hearing about it from a friend, I became a member of the Daring Kitchen. Specifically I am now a member of the Daring Bakers, an online group of bakers that come together once a month to cook the same recipe, form discussions, and share photos. I am excited to be a part of this group for two reasons.

First, after realizing that certain foods were inflaming my arthritic joints, I began experimenting with a low-starch diet. To avoid many starches, I had to cook more than ever before! Cooking is fast becoming a much-loved hobby. I'm in college and cannot afford to cook elaborately, but still...cooking is fun.

Second, I also love photography, which has become an increasingly larger hobby and passion over the past few years. Becoming a member of the Daring Kitchen, will provide encouragement to practice my wanting skills of both cooking and photography. Plus I've been dying for some hobbies that even I can do, spondylitis and all.

I will alter the recipes where possible to maintain my low-starch diet. However, if alterations are too difficult or expensive my friends may just have to do some taste-testing. I'm sure they won't mind... :)

On the 27th of every month, I will, along with the rest of the Daring Bakers, reveal the past month's baking challenge. So, you can be expecting future posts including yummy recipes and culinary photographs! Stay tuned!

Oooo! Exciting! I love new recipies so I will definitely be tuning back!

I get to see you in a couple days! Yay! You're such a beautiful girl and I too feel like I have a new best friend - only, it feels like we've been friends forever, not just a couple weeks! Amazing how that works! Can't wait to see you!

ooh... I really want to be a good cook! I may just have to join this little brigade. I'm trying, but man it's proving to be hard. You have any tips for me?
