Hey There! I’m Rebecca!
I’m the mind behind all of the goodness here on Sugar & Soul and cookbook author of Party Drinks!
I’m a self-taught baker with over a decade of kitchen experience, and I spend my days developing thoroughly tested recipes that you can trust to turn out every time.
Outside of the kitchen, I’m a foster/adoptive/biological mom, MomCo Coordinator for our church, and a bowling team member. I have a passion for baking and reading, and I used to travel a lot (four kids ago 😜)! I have a severe weakness for Brownies, Pancakes, and Irish Mules!
I was born and raised in Maine and still live here with my husband and daughters.
Why I Started Blogging
I went to school for business management and spent a few years working as a paralegal at a local law firm while I built my side hustle into a successful business!
I started blogging because my husband is an accountant, and during tax season, I was a bored tax widow and wanted something to fill my time. Little did I know a few years later, this would turn into my career!
How I Learned To Cook
But what inspired me to start a food blog? I think it was growing up in the kitchen making Banana Bread, Molasses Cookies, and Pecan Pies with my Grammie. Or how excited I would get every time my mom would whip up a batch of No Bake Cookies or Brownies. Clearly, I love me some dessert!
Then I married into an Italian family, and my husband absolutely loves to cook! So we’ve spent the last twelve years developing and sharing sweet and savory recipes from our kitchen with all of you!
Though we’re mostly self-taught, we’ve taken tons of cooking classes with the Maine Grain Alliance, Stonewall Kitchen Cooking School, and others throughout the years to build our knowledge and share our best kitchen tips and tricks with our readers.
