ABOUT

I’m Kristen, or KJ as most people call me. I’m a self taught baker, pie enthusiast and all around baking junkie.

I grew up in the kitchen watching my Mom make breads, cakes, and pies in our house on Bluebell Court. It’s where I first learned to measure, sift, stir and shake. I loved watching her do her thing. As soon as I was old enough to sit on the counter, Mom would lift me up and let me practice scooping and measuring flour. It didn’t take long for baking to be in my blood.

When I was 19 I had the choice of a free TV, computer or a Kitchen Aid mixer… I chose the mixer and took it with me to college.

A few facts: I’m pretty sure key lime pie is my love language, Friday Night Lights is the best TV show ever, I’m a complete sucker for snail mail and in 1986 I held the highest score in Pac Man for one week at Godfather’s Pizza in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.

What can you expect on Bluebell Court?

Recipes that I love. Sweet things. Savory things. Everything made from scratch, hopefully helping you see that it’s not that much more work (or difficult!) to ditch the mix and to try it on your own. I’ll also share tips and tricks I’ve found to help make baking/cooking more successful, fun and approachable. And since I need music to bake, I’ll share the songs and artists I find inspiring so you can do a little shakin’ and bakin’ too.

Have a thought or suggestion? I’m all ears… leave me a comment or send me a message.
