8. Do you feature specific diets such as gluten-free, low-carb, etc ?
Not on purpose, however, if we notice something will be we will tag it as such.
Like any recipe, you can usually make something more specific to your needs by altering ingredients.
If you do change something up, we love hearing about it!
9. Are either of you professional cooks ?
Neither of us have been to culinary school.
Jen, however, started as an army cook and worked her way as a cook through various jobs.
She currently still works in food service as a Director of Food & Beverage.
sylvie, however, loves food and has grown a passion for cooking & baking.
She has been a passionate recipe collector through life, loves to eat & share food love.
Together, we love creating together and sharing with you all.
10. What does your kitchen look like ?
Actually, you would be surprised.
Our kitchen is a very small space, nothing fancy in the least.
We don't have much for appliances and are very much minimalists.
We show with this blog you can make beautiful, colorful dishes without fancy equipment.
We do own a microwave, but sylvie refuses to use the death box.
☺
11. Where do you get inspiration for the recipes you share with us ?
Various ways actually.
It can be through conversation, vegetables in our garden or something we want to try!
Sometimes, we find recipe ideas in magazines, on websites, on television and in restaurants.
We then, using completely different ingredients, try to come up with a healthier version.
It can take two or more times before we can perfect the recipe we've envisioned.
Other times, we get inspired by finding a specific ingredients when out shopping.
And then there are our food creation day dreams, where we say 'Hey, what if we....'
12. Why did you decide to make/create a food blog ?
We decided that it would be a fun adventure since we loved creating together so much.
We also knew that it would be a great idea to share our learned knowledge.
The fact that we cook with such minimal appliances and an easy approach,
our recipes could be well received for young people just starting out.
Also, we love to inspire people to eat healthier.
We tend to take classic favorites and find ways to make them healthier too.
It's an exciting & fun adventure for us.
There are also some recipes that aren't so healthy.
A little something for everyone!
13. Where did you get the banner made for your blog ?
sylvie dabbles in graphics art and made it herself using our own pictures and some paid for commercial use stock photos to create the symbol for our website. I use an older program called Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9, however, the company is now called Corel and you can find and purchase a copy on their website.
14. What kind of camera do you use for the pictures on your blog ?
Right now, a Nikon Coolpix S3600.
Very simple point and shoot.
When we can afford to, however, we'd like to get a better camera.
That way we would have higher quality pictures.
The lighting in our home isn't the greatest so it's a constant battle.
And our camera is getting a tad worn.
We do our best, but we know the pictures need to be improved upon.
All in due time!
