About

Hi! I’m Lauren. After years of studying my favorite food blogs, I finally decided to do what I’ve wanted for years. I love using bright and fresh ingredients to make recipes that put a smile on my family and friends faces.

I live in Chicago, IL with my husband and Pomeranian Aiden. If you have never been to Chicago the one thing you should know is that the food here is amazing. Like seriously, its freezing 6 months of the year. No one would live here if it wasn’t for the food. I feel grateful to live in a such a vibrant city that has taught me so much about different types of cuisine.

I went to school at Columbia for fashion design, and I worked at Nordstrom for 5 years. Fashion and clothes have always been my thing. On occasion, I bartend at a local dive called Town Hall Pub. When I was working at Nordstrom and bartending I would typically work from sun up to sun coming up Friday and Saturdays. I typically had Sundays off to recover. Making a meal on Sundays always kept me sane. I loved the way it made me feel like a real person again after a weekend of non stop work. I loved taking my cash from bartending the night before and splurging at Whole Foods. It was during this time that my love for cooking and baking really took off.

I made this blog to create recipes for people who are also looking for the same type of creative escape from reality. I hope you enjoy!

Xx Lauren
