Hi there! Thanks for visiting my blog, "The Cooking Actress". I started The Cooking Actress during a particularly lonely part of my life, and through it I have made so many wonderful friends and expanded my prowess in the kitchen. I love nothing more than creating delicious food and sharing it with all of you!

I grew up in Ohio and then moved to NY to pursue my dreams of acting. I had a wonderful experience and learned so much and grew so much as an actor, as a cook/baker, a blogger, and as a person. In 2014 my then-fiance' (Michael, you'll hear about him on this blog a fair amount) and I moved back home to Ohio. In 2015 we got married, 2016 we bought a house, and in 2017 we welcomed our sweet baby boy-James. Then we got a second helping of love in 2020 when our daughter, Rose, was born.

P.S. If I ever mention a brand name, unless otherwise noted, assume they are not paying me and I am not officially endorsing them. I just want to be honest with you about what I used. Thanks. :)


Recipe Format Notes:

• I live in the US so my measurements reflect that. When I refer to an oven temperature, assume it is Fahrenheit. 
• All my recipes use standard, large eggs (unless otherwise specified)--I also generally use organic, cage-free eggs.
• 99% of my recipes use unsalted butter---unless I state otherwise or, sometimes, if I do not specify it means either will work.
• The all purpose flour I use is always unbleached--it is less processed and does a better job in baking. Just buy unbleached all purpose flour.
