it is in her five years of college where lauren learned the art of minimal living, conscious thought, and innovative cooking. interestingly enough, she found that by living with less, her creativity and cooking abilities broadened. lauren learned valuable tools of resourcefulness, time management, and functionality with limited means while still having the ability to produce gourmet meals. with her new found creativity, lauren began putting more love, energy, and thought into her food preparation and life. she discovered incredible relaxation through cooking and would throw various parties just so she could cook for her friends. soon all her friends and family began asking: “how did you think to do that?” “can i get that recipe?” “i wish i could cook for myself,” and so forth.

in reaction to the overwhelming interests and enthusiasm of her friends and family, lauren continued her passion for cooking and healthful living and attended bauman college's holistic nutrition and culinary arts program in boulder, colorado. now, lauren has decided to take her simplistic, fun approach to cooking online to share with you all. lauren invites you to travel the world with her as she broadens her culinary experience and teaches the idea thatt, “less truly is more.” oh, and enjoy rocking good music along the way!
