A while back we received an email from Foodbuzz about a contest.
Contest? huh?
We have done a challenge before…
We debated… and debated… and decided to give this one a try too! Here we are presenting our first challenge.
“Why should we be the next Foodbuzz star? What makes our blog unique?”
Our journey for food started young like most chefs 
We learned from our grandparents, parents, sisters, friends. Coming from an Italian/German/Swiss among others heritages food was in our blood. We learned about all different types of food, tastes, and palates to please.
As we developed our taste our bodies started to change. We have shared our health issues many times here on the blog before…so as we learned certain foods did not agree with us… a new door of culinary delights opened.
A few years ago we fell in love with living raw foods and ever since than our life has never been the same.
We are not your average food bloggers nor do we eat the typical eats most others do. We are different and we are ok with being different 
We look at food different.
Suffering from stomach, digestion issues, and food sensitivities we had to re-learn not only to love food again but to re-learn how to bake again with different ingredients.
We approach food different than most
We might not take the best pictures
We might make mistakes
We might make a disaster in the kitchen but turn it into a masterpiece
We might use unique ingredients
But to us being in the kitchen is our class room!
Our comfort zone.
Our place to learn.
Our place to be creative.
Our place to be different.
On our blog we use food to express who we are and how beautiful and nourishing food can be.
How do we keep it pure?
Untreated
In its natural state
Without comprising flavor
Color
Keeping it pure and simple!
We are gluten free raw vegan chefs – to some chefs or bakers this may seem like a tragedy but to us it has the been a blessing!
Went to culinary school to learn more about this new passion of ours!
Traveling to France changed our life…forever
And yes we do love our sweets!
We run our own gluten-free vegan bakery, Twin Cakes Bakery ( a life dream of ours). We honestly love making food for others…our true passion!
We want food to more than just something on your plate. We want food to give you life….peace…joy….comfort.
Thank for joining us through our culinary journey! Promise there will be great things to come!!!
Voting starts Monday!
Till next time,

I love the look of your amazing deserts…I am going to try them soon.
Also I am keen to know why you drink out of a mason jar with a glass straw…any particular benefits, as I drink my green smoothies daily too..and would love to know.
Anne.
Anne – we just prefer drinking out of glass vs plastic. We just love mason jars! And for some reason things just taste better, especially with the glass straw ; )
