Book Review: Saints at the Dinner Table

I never expected to transform into a total foodie, but somehow it happened. My mom was an amazing housewife, but she’d be the first to admit that she was no Rachael Ray. Once when my younger brother returned home from college, he told her how much he’d missed her homecooking. “Well, what do you wantRead the whole post >>

7 Quick Takes (Vol. 2)

I’m baaaaccckkk! I had so much fun participating in Jen’s 7 Quick Takes last week that I’ve decided to throw some more random thoughts out there. #1 I visit Testosterhome on a fairly regular basis even though we have far more X chromosomes floating around our household. In fact, on Christmas we discovered after openingRead the whole post >>

His mom always whips together a moist and delicious plum cake (with the help of my oldest daughter, of course). It’s a light dessert to top off ChristmasRead the whole post >>

Rudolph, With Your Nose So Bright, Won’t You Help A Mommy’s Plight?

The answer is yes. My kids are both going through a picky stage. I suppose everything is relative because my 4-year-old did recently choose to eat a spinach salad topped with feta, black olives, cucumbers and Greek dressing instead of a greasy piece of pizza. (Lest you think she has no food vices, a chocolateRead the whole post >>

Thirteenth Day of Advent: Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Try some Sopa de espinaca con codito (Translation: spinach soup with macaroni). Coloring Page Credit: Artwork by Waltzing Matilda; coloring by Madeline

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
