When I started The Girl With The Cookies back in 2019, I had finally reached a point in my life where I wanted to do something for myself. For years I had doubted if I would ever be able to live out my dream of having a bakery. I went to college for nursing and while I have loved being a nurse for the last 8 years, I found myself feeling that it was the time to live out another dream, my REAL dream.
I have always loved food, and baking more specifically, and even had dreams of having my own cooking show on Food Network since I was a little girl. Each afternoon after getting off the school bus, my 80 year old neighbor (Ms. White) and I would watch cooking shows that came on the Discovery Channel from 4-5pm. Every day. And most days, she had some version of a quiche waiting for me to snack on after school. We bonded over food and most of my favorite adult relationships are best explored over dinner (and drinks)! Food just makes me happy- not only because it tastes good but because we can all find ways to connect with each other, especially with a big plate of cookies in between us.
