MEET ANNA:
Eat to Live. Bake to Love.
Welcome to Urban.Apron! My name is Anna and I'm excited to give you a peek inside my kitchen and everyday life.
After growing up in the kitchen with my mom, baking has become a major part of who I am. I started this blog as a journalism major at Indiana University — blogging as a way to document my baking adventures. This blog has stayed by my side through law school and now today, 15 years later, in St. Louis, Missouri where I work as an attorney and live with my three kids and husband. Through it all, my kitchen is where I feel the most at home.
You can find my writing and recipes featured in St. Louis Magazine, St. Louis Mom, KSDK’s Show Me St. Louis, and Feast Magazine.
I bake because I want to show the world that sweets should be enjoyed often and in a healthy way! As an avid runner, fitness enthusiast and yoga lover, I strive to bake and eat clean in order to fuel my workouts and feel good. So, on this blog, you’ll find healthy treats, snacks and overall cleaner living posts. I love all things clean - from skincare to home products to recipes. Because we all deserve the best and healthiest life. I’m also a mom of three young children, so I share a bit about my motherhood journey as well.
On this blog, you will also find my favorite cookies and cake recipes. And some fun cocktails. Because even when we stay active and eat mostly clean... there are times that call for that classic cookie to take to an upcoming birthday party or for a neighbor. That's what my blog is here for. To give you my family favorite recipes that I've been making for years, as well as some unique healthy variations to inspire you to step outside your comfort zone.
I hope you enjoy this space and find comfort here. We are all in this crazy life together. Please reach out, I really love connecting with all of you!

Anna
