Hi, I’m Molly! Without fail, I’m the one in the kitchen making sure there’s something amazing on the table, because in my world, a party without good food is just a meeting.

I went to culinary school, fell in love with the energy of Chicago’s food scene, and now live in Iowa with my husband Jake and our two dogs. I miss the food in Chicago every single day, but the Midwest feels like home. And honestly? There’s not a minute I’m not thinking about food — whether I’m testing a new cookie recipe, planning my next cake, or hosting a pretend bakery for my friends.

One of my chefs in culinary school told me something I’ll never forget: “Food brings people together, so make it good, so people will stick around.” That’s how I approach every recipe I make! Whether it’s a gooey cookie, six-layer chocolate cake, or something in between. And that’s exactly why I love Betty Crocker! You can create just about anything from a box mix! Lately, my go-to has been transforming cake mixes into the best old-fashioned donuts.
