Marking 3 Years at Taste of Home

Today marks my third year of writing and editing at Taste of Home.

While the last few years I’ve celebrated my work anniversary on some really amazing press trips (one to Sonoma County, California and the other to Texas), this year I’m marking the occasion by hanging out with some of my best gal pals from work (outdoors and at a safe distance, of course).

Considering this milestone, I wanted to share a few of my proudest accomplishments and some cool projects I’ve worked on.

My Babka!

Last December, my babka recipe appeared on the cover of Taste of Home. It was such a huge, huge thrill! It’s an accomplishment that I’ll dine out on for years to come.

If you want to learn how to make it, check me out!

Trying New Things

This job provides me with the opportunity to try a lot of fun new foods, products and cooking techniques.

Recently, I got to give Caraway cookware a try and I’m in love.

Taste of Home’s Baking Club

No secret here: I love to bake (and I think I’m halfway good at it!). For a little more than a year now, I’ve been playing a big part in Bakeable, Taste of Home’s baking club.

I write a lot of our baking articles, coordinate our Facebook group and create Taste of Home’s baking newsletter. It’s my favorite work project of all time (even better than sampling boxed wine for work).

Connecting with Others

While COVID has definitely put a damper on this, I love how Taste of Home allows me to connect with other cooks and bakers. I particularly love chatting with the ultra-talented Test Kitchen crew. Without that team, I would keep baking Bundts that stick to the pan.

I’ve also had the opportunity to chat with some pretty amazing people in the outside food community, too. I’ve interviewed Christina Tosi twice (!!!), and it was such a joy and pleasure.

I cannot forget the amazing team I work on, either. I’m lucky to count so many of these gals as good friends.
