about me

Hi! My name is Katie and I live in Minnesota - just a bit southeast of the Minneapolis. I am employed at a great company called BI, working on loyalty marketing programs. I've loved to cook/bake for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping Mom dump ingredients while she was baking and was the official 'stirrer' until I was old enough to cook.

Cooking/baking is the ultimate stress reliever for me. I love to cook for others and am discovering how much fun entertaining is! Besides my FT job, I have a small business creating websites. Other interests of mine are inline skating (annual marathon in Sept.), long distance running (1/2 marathons are my thing), watching Friends DVDs, traveling, and reading.

I find myself searching the Zaar daily for recipes and new ideas and I'm always excited to rate some of my faves!! I am working on posting more of my own, but determining my measurements is proving rather tricky.

Favorite Foods:

I'm a hardcore veggie addict! I'll eat meat, but I generally don't like it much. I experiment a lot w/stirfried veggies and international recipes (Indian, African, Greek, etc). Broccoli is my favorite food EVER and my savory squash soup is the ultimate winter comfort food. Second only to veggies are CaRbS - pastas, brown rice and homemade bread - YuM!! No low carb for me.
Oddly enough, when it comes to cooking, I frequently have the most fun cooking foods I don't even like...? That's where my family (esp. my brothers) comes in handy.
