Knowing SteemKitchen Interview with a member of the SteemKitchen community.

Hello friends of Steemit, today we continue our article series in our community, Knowing SteemKitchen.

Today we are going to interview, @birdsinparadise. One of our newer members of SteemKitchen. Who was also the recent winner of our second contest Already making her star shine bright.

1 Who is @birdsinparadise, how did you find steem and how long on the platform?

I chose the name birdsinparadise because I love the beautiful Bird Of Paradise flower as well as we feel like we are just two crazy birds,living in paradise!!

I found Steem through my daughter @mountainjewel. They joined the platform late last year and loved it! She convinced me to join in February.

2 Where are you from and what do you do?

I live Southeastern part of USA. My husband I moved to Florida in 2017 just in time to encounter our first Hurricane, Irma! I was the CFO for an Architectural Firm in Indiana. We sold the company in 2017 and I'm currently working part time finishing up all of the loose ends!

Now I finally have the opportunity to spend all of the time I want doing what I love most! Creating healthy tasty food and sharing it with those I love!

3 Who / What led you to our community?

My dear friend @lizelle encouraged me enter the latest contest. When I joined the community discord group I was sold!

4 Do you have a favorite Cuisine?

Hmm, that would be hard to choose.
I would say creating healthy desserts would be my favorite though. I have always loved sweets but so often they're not healthy. I get great pleasure discovering new ways to enjoy sweets using healthy ingredients! Something about the "Oh,My" of a great dessert is all it takes!

5 What do you like most about this community?

Everyone has been so kind and welcoming! I love meeting new people and seeing foods from all around the world! Being part of a community and sharing the same love of cooking is really wonderful.

6 What is your favorite food style and why?

I love to grill! Now that we live in a warm climate we grill fruits, vegetables, meats and fish all the time! A real blessing!

7 What is your favorite dish you cook for family and friends?

When we lived in cold climates soups would be the usual request but now that we live in a tropical climate soup doesn't sound as appealing!

I would have to say sweets would be the dish my family looks forward to! I usually make quite a few healthy treats before they arrive! This was a recent favorite!

8 Name 5 ingredients that you always use in your preparations.

I almost always add Organic Maple Syrup, Almond Milk, Some form of nut and dried or fresh fruit!

9 Share with us your introduceyourself post or a post you loved writing.

I haven't done an introduceyourself post yet. Perhaps I'll do one for my one year anniversary!
I loved writing this post because my daughter and new grandson were with me to cook! Nothing better than sharing great family time creating in the kitchen.
