My life: I was born and raised in Iowa, went to college in Indiana, did a brief stint in Barcelona before spending a couple of years in Chicago, and now live in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I am an attorney and a seller of housewares, and I spend the majority of my free time in the kitchen. I’m still trying to figure out how baking loaves of bread and dozens of bagels is going to pay off my student loans, so if you have any ideas I’d love to hear them.
My favorite foods: bread, Asian pears, cheese, runny egg yolks, avocados, thick-cut bacon, carnitas, salty butter, quark, whole milk, pomegranates, hot fudge sundaes, everything bagels, Pearson’s nut rolls, the saltiest and chewiest chips in the bag from Chipotle
My favorite things to make: bread of any kind, cheese
My favorite non-cooking activities: running, finishing crosswords, watching Iowa football, yoga
More Cheese More Chocolate because: My mom taught me that any food can be improved with the addition of cheese sauce or chocolate sauce.

My husband is a DePauw alumni…caught my attention as I was searching food bloggers in the Minneapolis area. Nice work!
That’s awesome! Maybe I’ll see you at a DePauw gathering one of these days.
I absolutely love this. How fun. I am so happy I came across your blog and look forward to reading more
Love, Butter
Thanks for stopping by!
Your website is fantastical!
Can you do me a favor and replicate the chicken tortilla soup from Masa?
Oh, and my birthday is about 7 months away in case you need to plan to bake something in April.
Thanks, HT. I will try to track down the recipe – I’ve actually never tried it. And I will never forget your birthday. 4.20! I’ll start thinking about treats today, just to make sure I come up with something good by spring.
