why, WHY am i doing this...

i have just gotten my master's degree (thanks mom and dad for the kitchen aid!)

while job searching/applying i have been baking up a storm

in my parents amazing new kitchen.

thankfully it was the holidays 

so i was not forced to eat it all by myself.

because i have friends and family

who are amazing cooks and bakers themselves

and others who are super supportive

many have suggested i start a blog.

so here i am.

i have to admit that this is a little scary.

technology and publicly displaying my creations.

these things are scary.

*i will never claim to be a photography genius

i have no fancy camera,

i sometimes have to stand on the counter to get a good picture

and i have been know to take a picture or two on the floor.

don't judge. all things are done with love.

here goes...

hello! i am just a girl with a (new!!!) pink kitchen aid,
 pink spatula, pink tongs, pink mixing bowl, pink knives, pink hand mixer...

really most things in my kitchen arsenal are pink. 

i can't help it. 

i just love it.

i also have a thing for aprons.

ruffles, owls, polka dots.

i do not discriminate.

i also dream of someday having a gorgeous kitchen

with lots of wall space

and being able to hang them up

all around the kitchen.

ten things about me:
1. i love pink
2. painted nails make me a happy lady
3. (nearly) every sweet thing i make is teeny tiny
4. i could live off of cookies, cupcakes, and coconut seltzer
5. my mom is my idol in the kitchen
6. i have a hard time going shopping and not buying a new kitchen tool (thanks, mom!)
7. i find the option of "buying" cookbooks on e-readers to be sad
8. i could listen to cooking shows all day
9. i am a messy baker/cook and proud of it
10. i have the best family and friends 

delicious treats to come!
