Let me introduce myself. My name is Kristen and I am addicted to baked goods. By day I am a nurse who daydreams about my next concoction, and by night I am a baker making a buttery mess in our kitchen and giving my mixer a Jillian Michaels style workout. I have a dream...and that is to one day be baking and creating full time. But for now, let me tell you a bit more about me, the Flour Girl...
- I was born and raised in Iowa. Every person in my family got at least 1 degree from the University of Iowa and I am no different.
- I am a 6 foot tall redhead who is bit on the introverted side, which sucks because I stuck out a bit growing up.
- I am getting married (to Nick) in May and I could not be more excited. We have dated four years and we are so in sync, it's kinda weird. My mom is doing most of the crafty stuff for the wedding, while I am daydreaming about making my own cookie favors and cake pops and "THE GUESTS HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE SWEETS!!!"
- Starting and keeping a baking blog going has been a New Year's Resolution for probably the last 3 years. I believe this year will be different so here's to hoping!
- I want this blog to be a place I can share my recipes with others as well as connect with other people who love baking as much as I do!
- My labradoodle Gravy is my fur baby and I would be incredibly embarrassed if anyone heard how I talk to him.
- My favorite quote is from the movie Ratatouille, "If you are what you eat, then I only want the good stuff." I want to inspire people to eat good things. Either really good for you, or if they aren't so good for you, they'd better taste amazing.
So...there it is. Follow me while I bake stuff, post about it, and then bake some more stuff.
