Food Blogger, Outdoor Enthusiast, Dreamer, and Mother

Hello! I’m Karen, the creator and cook here at TCC. This is where I spend my days creating, cooking, and sharing with you nourishing soups, breads, salads, and entrees, along with sweet and savory baked goods and desserts. Many of the recipes you will find here are inspired by the crops and fresh produce growing right outside the cookery’s door! Nestled among the wheat and legume fields of the Palouse region of Idaho, Thorn Creek Cookery offers something for everyone no matter where you find yourself on the food spectrum.  Hope you enjoy! More about me..

Along with eating well, I’m passionate about living a healthy and active lifestyle. My family knows if they can’t find me in the kitchen there’s a good chance I’m out running, biking, hiking or even snowshoeing over the surrounding hills. In the spring and summer, I love working in the cookery’s many gardens. With a degree in health and physical education, along with years of experience in the food industry, not to mention many more cooking for a family of six, I’ve been able to share my love of both fitness and nutrition with family and friends.

Come on in and take a look…
