Hey There! I'm Kim

I am a fourth-generation Alaskan who lives in Anchorage, along with my husband, two beautiful daughters, and a house and yardful of unruly pets.

 

I spent the first 18 years of my life in the remote Alaska village of King Salmon – located in the Bristol Bay Region.  After graduating from a class of 18 in 1995, I entered the University of Southern California, earning a degree in Psychology. 

 

I have done many things during my life: I was in sales and marketing for about 15 years, I am a self-taught artist of charcoals, acrylics and watercolors. I now specialize in pet portraits, I've owned a clothing design company, I've written two children's books, I know how to keep busy and not get bored. Although, I'm sure it drives my husband crazy! 

​

During all of the 'stay at home time' during  the pandemic, I also gained a new obsession and appreciation for making French Macarons. These petite baked goods are a fun, new  challenge.  They are little pieces of art in themselves. I love cooking and baking and sharing ideas for fun food!

​

Thanks for stopping by my site. My intent is to fill it with meals, drinks and desserts that you can make at home for yourself or your family.  I hope you find something to inspire you and I promise to try to always keep things interesting!
