Blogging about my adventures in the Daring Bakers Challenge and brushing up on my french too!

Katy R: Euless, TX, United States; I am a blessed wife and mother of 2 kids who works full time in the mortgage industry. Of course, having had my kids rather consecutively means that my weight hasn't been the same in about 4 years. I am on baby hiatus for now and have pleasantly discovered that baking is my weight loss therapy! You heard me right; I lose weight when I bake. I can honestly attribute this to the fact that it keeps me on my feet instead of on the couch and somehow I lose my appetite for what I am cooking after all that baking! So I eat less and exercise a little too. My goodies are passed off to my coworkers or my husband's coworkers with no complaints (and I will admit my ego loves the compliments given after sharing). I have my dedicated recipes I use and just want to branch out into a more daring arena, hence my blog! For those who can't read French, my blog title is the exact translation of my challenge, 'The Daring Baker'. So check out month to month to see how I accomplish the challenges and I might post something different here and there. As a side note, this is also my sounding board to practice my French grammar skills, so that's why you see each recipe posted in both French and English.
