Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I live in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle on an Urban Farm (w/ five laying hens and a huge garden). I am a trained chef (w/ a certificate in food preservation), taught at a cooking school & like to share 'kitchen hacks' - culinary tips that save time, money & maximize flavor. If that isn't enough, I also run a food+tech startup called Barn2Door.com - a platform to help everyone easily find & buy food directly from farmers, fishers & ranchers (from CSA's to urban farm eggs to 1/2 a grass-fed cow).

I love peppermint! I was so glad to find Megnut's recommendation for Peppermint Cake; it is already on the docket for this year's Christmas dessert.

Luisa over at The Wednesday Chef inspired me to bring on the orange rolls! She made Wheat and Cornmeal Cheese rolls, another savory sweet, light and airy bread in a roll experience. Hats off to stepping off into the world of novelty bread recipes!
