About

I am a quirky lady who wears lots of hats, like many others I know: wife, mother, teacher, baker, writer, reader, frequent film-watcher, photographer, fancy drink-drinker.

For a while I had a small baking company called “Fresh Scratch.”  When I first started baking, my dad was my taste-tester.  He would always ask, “Did you make this from scratch?  Did you use fresh scratch?” Today, I love baking for my friends and family. I also love writing, and have found the “fresh scratch” name has a great duality. My dad passed away when I was 25, and this is a small way of honoring him and his humor.

My mission is to bake simple, comfort-inducing goodies – made with as many local, organic, and fair trade ingredients as possible – for all of my sweet tooth-possessed peeps {myself included!}.
