Stephie grew up helping her mother in the kitchen, where she learned that cooking with fresh ingredients instead of relying on prepared foods really isn't that difficult or time consuming - and the results always taste better! After college, she started her blog, Stephie Cooks, as a way to share her recipes with her friends and encourage them to start cooking as well. Outside of the kitchen, she's an avid reader, mother of two cats, shoe addict, and lover of mildly-trashy reality TV. Her recipes feature ways to spruce up some of those "old school" recipes with fresh ingredients - no canned soup needed.
