About Kate:

Curious about what you get when you mix up a Culinary degree with one in English Composition? If you read my blog for a while, you’ll surely find out. Cooking and writing are my two most treasured skills, and I love weaving them together through stories, and memories. I grew up learning to cook with my Mom, who patiently guided me through simple kitchen tasks and gave me the foundation to explore, learn and grow in the kitchen. She instilled in me a love of baking, the solidity of a daily family meal and a deep appreciation for delicious and simple foods.

About Jen:

Jen is the owner & lead author at PriorFatGirl.com.

The Prior Fat Girl blog started on July 2, 2008, as a personal journal used during Emmert’s weight loss journey — a journey of losing 90 pounds by working out and eating healthy. Throughout Jen’s journey, she relied on the blog to document her experiences whether frustrations or successes. While she found journaling her experiences to be therapeutic, Jen quickly realized the depth of the online community and learned that her journey was not unlike many out there. And, although the blog initially began as a personal “therapy,” it has now become a community for others to be connected with those on a similar journey.
