A few Fun facts about me!

My husband and I built and now live in a handcrafted log cabin, hence the name of the blog!

I have been baking and creating recipes my entire life! I even had a small “food blog” in high school where I would post my latest recipes.

I can quote pretty much any episode of Friends and The Office, and do so on a regular basis 🙂

Along with baking, I am an avid gardener! I love watching the garden come to life every year.
