My first blog

What does one say on their first blog.  I guess I’ll start with welcome to the Happier Foodie website.  My name is Kelly, and I am the Happier Foodie.  The name came when I was making my first cookbook. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=happier+foodie&crid=2ASUG9CT3K0GZ&sprefix=happier+foodie%2Caps%2C159&ref=nb_sb_noss,   I sent some pictures to a friend of mine and she replied, “that looks like food that will make people happy,” hence the name the Happier Foodie.  Am I trained chef, no I am not, nor am I a trained cook I am just someone who loves to cook and have taught myself.  My mother was and still is a great cook so have learned some of what I know from her.  In fact, if I have a question, I will often ask my mother for advice.  

I think I started out as more of a baker.  My first bake was cinnamon rolls and after years of baking these they have become my signature bake.  I like to bake them for events and for friends but have also sold quite a few with a monthly baking day.  

Because I have to feed myself, I also learned how to cook.  Most of the recipes I learned are fairly easy as I am a busy person as I am sure most of you are too. I hope my recipes on this blog may help you with your meal planning and save you a little time. All of this lead to giving cooking classes to both children and adults. Maybe you will join me for one as online classes will start in January and you can join from wherever you are. 

I know some of you may not even like to cook which I have heard from some people, hopefully these are mostly easy recipes, and you will give them a try.  I will put new recipes on the blog once a week giving you more choices to try.  Any questions you can always email me. 

Thanks for reading and enjoy your cooking!
