Beginner Photography Information & Class

As some of you may know, I work as a photographer. I also teach photography classes in person and online. I have recently announced a beginner photography class.  The online class will be held for 4 weeks in a private forum. Each week you will have a lesson, assignment, tutorial of some kind and an optional critique. This class is designed to help simplify the DSLR camera basics so that you can take better pictures! It also includes information on how to simply edit an image in photoshop. For those of you who have no idea which button means what, or what aperture or ISO means…then this may be perfect for you. Do you have a DSLR that you’ve been wanting to experiment more with? Our weekly assignments will challenge and allow you to get out there and push yourself. The only way we can become better at something is with practice and working outside of our comfort zone. I believe that those who go out of their way to do the assignments (which are always optional) in this course will grow the most. There will of course be Q&A along the way!

I will be sending out a newsletter soon with details and information. If you are interested in hearing more information then go sign up here: http://mad.ly/signups/71512/join

Thanksgiving Dessert

This dessert was creamy, Nutella y, a little tangy, and had a great crunch in the crust. It was the perfect compliment to Thanksgiving dinner, and even the non gluten free eaters loved it. The only problem is when I made it, I didn’t measure anything and kind of eyeballed it. I went by my regular cheesecake recipe but modified it with a few other additions of Nutella and gluten free chocolate cookies. I’ll post the recipe and more pictures soon for your viewing and eating pleasure:)In the meantime, what will you be making for the holidays?

This sounds and looks incredible! I love the idea of using it for pizza.

I adapted your recipe to make a Concord grape cake and it was incredibly delicious! This was the first time I baked with almond meal and I had heard about failures with it but this turned out so perfect I thought I was eating a real cake. Here is what I did. I cut your recipe in half because that’s all I needed. I left out the Italian spices and added cinnamon, a dash of salt, and stevia, no honey at all. I also forgot to add baking powder or cream of tartar but it was very light anyway. And I added about half a cup of Concord grapes because I had an abundance of them. The grapes melted, like blueberries plus, and were really delightful. The cake was very sweet.

Thank you so much for providing a wonderful foundation for other adventures in grain free baking.
