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, over 14 years later, in St. Louis, Missouri where I live with my family. Through it all, my kitchen is where I feel the most at home.

You can also find my writing and recipes featured in St. Louis Magazine, St. Louis Mom, KSDK’s Show Me St. Louis, and Feast Magazine.

You will find good ol' cookies and cakes here on my blog. 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 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 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 also find healthy treats, snacks and overall cleaner living posts. Because we all deserve the best and healthiest life. I’m also a mom of two girls and a toddler boy, so I share a bit about that journey as well.

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
