Hi, I’m Elee! It’s pronounced E - Lee. Like the town in northern Minnesota, Ely.
I’m eleven years old and I come from a family that loves to be in the kitchen. I have always loved making yummy food. In fact, I come from a long line of bakers and chefs.
Both of my grandmas LOVE to cook. My Grandma Jeanne and I bake together a lot. We come up with weird but good recipes. My other grandma (who lives pretty far away) is a wonderful baker and she shares her family recipes with me so I can make them too. I also have a ton of aunties and they all love to bake! My Aunt Lisa is SUPER into baking. I have watched and learned from her. My mom tells me that she really, really likes Rachael Ray and she also has A LOT of cookbooks so I think that means she’s an expert.
Since I was a little girl I have always LOVED to bake. I started pretty young and just kept on going. Then in January 2019 there was a polar vortex (meaning it was very, very, VERY cold outside) and we couldn’t go out for over a week. My mom suggested that I start writing down some of my most special recipes, to create a cookbook for kids my age. It is a work-in-progress and I hope to have it completed and ready to go by mid-summer.
Follow along with me on this website as I try and create new recipes! It will be fun, even if they don’t turn out ;-)
I love to make food with my friends and family!
Sister Cousins
One of my best friends is my cousin, Sosie. Although we live far away from each other we try to see each other as much as possible, and talk every day! When she’s in town we love to bake together.
My Little Helper
I have tons of little buddies that love to bake with me. This is Charlotte Bernice and she helped me make a whole bunch of Christmas cookies this year.
Best Neighbor Buddies
Kira is my next door neighbor and she is always baking with me. For her mom’s birthday last year we made an amazing gluten-free layered rainbow cake with unicorns pooping rainbow candy. It was so much fun!
I love being around people, family, and friends. I think baking is a great way to spend time together.
Here are some pics of me and my friends and family. They are the BEST. They are SUPER supportive, and love to bake along with me. I have a very little cousin named Harry and he tries to steal ALL. OF. THE. COOKIES. I say, do it Harry.
