Like many others, my passion for baking emerged from many days baking beside my Grandma, we call her Nana. Some of my earliest memories come from sitting on the kitchen countertop next to a classic white Kitchen Aid mixer. We never needed a holiday or a special occasion to bake, for us it was a matter of spending time together. 

If I wasn't baking with Nana I was outside. The mountains, mesas, and desert canyons of Western Colorado were my playground. 

Trail Cookie formed from these two passions, baking and outdoor adventures. I find myself grabbing a cookie to put in my pack before a big adventure, saving it for the opportune moment. Good views and a good cookie, it’s bliss. I knew that joy needed to be shared. No matter what the adventure, hard work deserves reward.
