As a child, I remember helping my mom bake chocolate chip cookies, no-bake cookies, and box cake mixes any chance that I could. Although I\u2019m&nbsp;not sure that I was much help, I really just loved to lick the beaters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, I started to use baking as a creative outlet while I was working at a desk job. Even though I had a great job, I felt like something was missing. It was during that time that my husband convinced me to start a food blog to work on in my spare time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In April of 2014 I started Live Well Bake Often so that I could share my recipes with others and keep them in one place. I quickly began to fall in love with creating desserts to share on my website and teaching people the science behind baking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What started as a hobby has now turned into an online recipe destination visited by millions of people each month. I now work on Live Well Bake Often as my full-time job and I\u2019m so incredibly thankful that I get to do what I love every single day.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2>About Live Well Bake Often<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve spent years teaching myself how to bake through trial and error and I\u2019ve learned a lot. <b>My goal is to take the difficulty out of baking and make it easy for you!<\/b>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here at Live Well Bake Often you\u2019ll find hundreds of <b>classic baked goods and desserts<\/b> that I\u2019ve created in my own kitchen.
