For this, I am my own client. My other passion is cooking and my husband loves baking, so we got together and started a blog – Sweetness and Spice, which I also designed. We aren’t great about posting because for us it isn’t an income stream, rather a beloved hobby, but every once in a while we get in the mood and post.
We’ve also written two cookbooks together (a third is already planned). I wrote the recipes, made the food, did all the photos and illustrations, and did the books’ layouts myself.

The logo, above, represents the love that goes into cooking. Recipes for the delectable items below can be found on our website.

Eating Like We’re French
Eating Like We’re French was written as a fundraiser for French students at Roosevelt High School to offset the costs of their exchange trip to France this last spring. We raised about $1500 after expenses for the cookbook and event we held before the trip.
