(Gluten-Free) Baking with Dorie Project

I am so excited! Last night I noticed a great photo on Photograzing's web site for lemon poppy seed muffins. (This is the same site where I got the idea for the tie-dyed cupcakes. Apparently Photograzing is my muse this week!)

After clicking on the photo, I was taken to Susi's Kochen und Backen Adventures where I learned Susi and Grapefruit, from Needful Things, are organizing a group called "Bake with Dorie". They are planning on making recipes out of Dorie Greenspan's Baking: From My Home to Yours and posting their results.

I love Dorie Greenspan. And I LOVE this book. How could I not join their fun group?  (You might remember I converted Dorie's World Peace cookies at the end of January. Here's the link!) 
I shyly sent Susi an e-mail asking if I could participate in their project. Whenever I ask to join a group, I  have flashbacks to elementary school were I was left out of groups because of my allergies. So, I was nervous. Making me doubly nervous was this part of my e-mail, "I'd love to join but I have one little thing that might be an issue for you: I'd need to convert the recipes to gluten-free"

Not only did Susi allow me to join, she knows someone with Celiac! How cool is that?

Every other Monday, we will be making something out of Dorie's book and my attempts will be gluten-free conversions! I can't wait!

If you are interested in baking along with us, hop over to Susie's or Grapefruit's blog. They have all the information.
