Project Food Blog challenge #1

    I was not sure to enter or not to enter  the PFB, actually am a  brand new food blogger ,a newbie, 1 month old !!
I just entered  because I thought it will be fun, to recieve that newsletter everyday from the foodbuzz editorial team, reading my friends posts about it and also to add some thrill to my life.

   Well, I started my food blog BECAUSE,..no ,before I tell you this let's go back a little bit...

I am a mother , my kids are my whole life, and I used to be a Doctor too, but I gave up my work just to give my kids some time....

found myself  lost between their needs and  the housework ...and to be honest I was started feeling really stressed out!!
We moved to Italy 5 months ago,and ever since, I lost track of all my friends back home,to find myself lonely and to some extent useless...but to be honest,again, after I started  writing and blogging my life has changed and my blog became my only and best friend.

                                 

       Once upon a time,there was a -desperate- Housedoctor,yeah!! a Housedoctor it stands for a doctor + housewife ).was navigating pointlessly while I was just listening to the Julie and Julia movie..(just listening not watching) , was looking online for a recipe of something, I don't actually remember  what was it!!, and I bumped into my beloved website Foodbuzz, and I liked the idea of blogging and communicating with other Foodies,learning some culinary skills and getting nice comments on a dish you made and photographed .

  My kitchen is a modest one, I even don't have and -unfortunately -can't afford a stand mixer for the timebeing :), yet I love to cook, actually I wasn't into baking IN THE PAST....but now I really have to admit ..baking became one of my no-drug mood elevator..

once I see my yummy (thing) coming out of the oven ....I smile and feel sooooo happy!

  

        My kids really love to play ,sorry to cook with me..after every rolling of a pastry dough each one takes a piece and play!! :)) and then i bake for them that thing they created :)

Lily can barely touch the ground....reminds me of myself when I was in the kitchen with mom.:)

So, back to the Project Food Blog.....I now want to introduce myself in brief:

I love cooking

I love creating

I love success.

with every successful recipe, good looking salad or a baked pie that is a smash hit I feel rewarded...

maybe because I really miss my work as a doctor, but I really felt rewarded enough among my beloved community on Foodbuzz.
  And about why should I be the next foodbuzz star, who said I will be??!!
Am not being pessimistic or anything..but I am really a newbie here ,and there are hundreds of REALLY good foodies out there , I am just here to share the fun of the competition itself.
but if there is a reward for a newbie, I'd go for it .
Yet,am really proud of myself, I spend most of my free time reading  about food photography nowadays , and I see myself improving compared to my first posts. And also my cooking skills are improving along with my photographing ones,I learned how to kneed a dough for God's sake!!

Things I've learned from food blogging:
Be creative, do not take any recipe as it is.
Be patient,if your recipe didn't came out as it meant to be.
Be honest, tell your foodie friends how you really feel about their dishes.
Be friendly, adding comments never hurts..:)
Be devoted,"Cooking is like love; it should be entered into with abandon or not at all." — Julia Child

Voting starts tomorrow...Good luck everyone!!

Your VOTE makes me happy..

From the white coat to the white apron
