Hello there and welcome to The Talking Kitchen! I’m Lauren, the ‘talking’ part of the kitchen, and I’m super excited to share my recipes, photos, gibber jabber and more on this huge space we call the world wide web.
To get to know each other more I figured a list would do us well.
A few things about me:
~ I’m in my mid-late 20′s…. whatever, fine, I’m 27 and proud! I have 2 sisters and a very special twin brother that I love like no other even though we are now scattered across the US of A.
~ I’m a total Michigander, (Go Blue!) yet currently enjoy the California life.
~ I drink lots of water.
~ My interests include (in no particular order) food, eating, autism, lui (husband), blogging, God, michigan football, my fam, farmers markets, bike riding, smiling, thinking, science.
~ I wear the same outfit two days in a row. a lot.
~ I’m all about eating what tastes good and makes me feel good. Keeping processed chemical junk to a minimum and feasting on raw, from the earth, humanely raised, whole grain food is what we do here at The Talking Kitchen.
~ Plus making healthier versions of not so healthy dishes, drinks and desserts.
~ I’m pale but I can get really tan.
~ I always wanted to be left-handed growing up, thought I would have cooler handwriting.
~ I have a blooming interest in photography, mainly food, but I also take endless photos of cats, oceans, lamp posts, flowers and curbs. Checkout my photography page, instagram, and my food photo of the day for eye pleasure!
~ I make my own deodorant.
~ i don’t care ’bout grammar or punctuation none. True story, my 6th grade teacher took points off my paper because I didn’t dot my i’s. So lame. I was just expressing myself with punctuation or the lack thereof. She totally missed it.
~ My favorites tunes as of late are from The Racouters, The Kills, Alabama Shakes, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and the Jay-Z/Kanye West album.
~ My day job is a behavioral therapist. I work at schools and homes with kids with autism and I love it.
~ My new passion is food photography and blogging. I’m super stoked that you’ve stopped by on The Talking Kitchen! Leave me a note, question, comment, word, photo, smiley face through email, thetalkingkitchenblog(at)

Hey!
I just wanted to let you know I featured your fennel salad on my blog’s Thanksgiving recipe round up. It would be a great addition to anyone’s Thanksgiving feast. If you’d like you can visit the post at: http://www.deconstructingthehome.com/?p=1054
Keep up the great blogging,
Natalie Roberts
Thank you! I’m thinking it will be a nice Christmas salad too
What a beautiful blog! I love seeing all the references to Peruvian food, I lived in Lima for a year and anything Peruano will always have a special spot in my heart.
Thank you! I too have a special place for all things Peruvian after I married one. Besides the food is amazing!
p.s. totally love your blog, you changed my life with those berry tarts!
Gorgeous photography. Came across your site through Foodgawker. I’m in love.
Thank you!
Lauren, this blog is awesome! I love your photos – it looks like you are having so much fun cooking.
Just wanted to say hi, MB
Thanks Mary Beth! Not gonna lie it’s my new fav thing to do.. all the time, especially taking the pics! Hear you’re getting hitched! Congrats, he’s a lucky guy!
and hi!
Just found your blog and I am in love. Just beautiful. Can’t wait to see more!
wow I’m flattered, I just checked out your blog and you have some beautiful photos! Looking forward to following it!
I love the red and blue backgrounds you have in your pictures. I was wondering, are they wood paneling? I was wondering if you could tell me where you got them. Thanks! Your pictures are beautiful!

Thanks! They are wood paneling from home depot and I just painted them red and blue. I also left some white, so easy and fun!
Thanks so much! What a clever idea! It looks great. And so many possibilities….I need to go to Home Depot STAT!

OMG. I just found you and I.LOVE.YOU. << Okkaaayyy, that MIGHT sound a little weird..but I'm a little extreme with my enthusiasm at times so let me back up.. backing up..BEEP..BEEP. Okay.. I love your fun quirky personality that is ever so present in your posts, your bright and animated photos of food that make me drool and feel like I have been completely deprived of deliciousness my entire life, and your healthy and pure recipes! I must've just printed out atleast 12 recipes. This all started because I am hosting my sister in laws baby shower which is blueberry themed. I was looking up blueberry mojitos (virgin & alcoholic) and blueberry muffins! aHHHHhhh I totally found what I needed here but I also got incredibly side tracked by all the fantastical photos and yummy recipes!!
I will definitely keep coming back for more quirkiness, photos, and recipes! WEEE!!!
Best,
Brittany
SO glad you found me!
Just a very blessed father to have four wonderful children…one of whom is a mad blogger..! Love the yummy photos..:))
I’m so glad I found your site! Your photos are beautiful and I’m currently working to include more raw, vegan foods into my diet. We even have some commonalities–I work with children diagnosed with various PDDs and absolutely love it. (I’m left-handed and I’ll admit, it is fun.) Thanks for your work!!
