My New Found Passion
Lately, i've been asking myself "who IS this person?" This person who is spending hours experimenting in the kitchen, researching new recipes to try, looking at cookware for fun, and home making as many things as possible. Those closest to me are surprised as well because it wasn't a secret that I disliked anything to do with the kitchen. Cooking? What's that? I was the queen of frozen pizzas, boxed pastas, canned soups and using the microwave!
I guess this new love was born out of my commitment to living a healthier lifestyle. I still wanted to enjoy sweets, treats, and all my favourites and now I can do that guilt free because I know all the ingredients being used and how much of it is being used. It's kind of a fun challenge too... turning foods labeled unhealthy into something that's healthier.
In summary...
being healthy doesn't have to be boring
and
try something new, it could turn into a new passion!

I too have taken up baking as a new passion. I love to cook but thought I'd give this a try as I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle again.
