Contributor: Megan Hitz


1. What's your name:

Megan Hitz

2. Tell me a little about yourself...

I grew up on a farm in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon. Studied design in Seattle, and moved to New York six years ago to pursue a job in Fashion. I have a heart for people, a strong Christian faith, a need for adventure and an amazing appetite for good food!

3. What's your favorite pass-time and why?

Anything outdoors...hiking Oregon mountains, swimming in any natural body of water, camping in Woodstock, biking city streets, sipping the perfect glass of Riesling at a bustling New York street cafe, wandering Central Park... I love the outdoors, it makes me feel alive. Nature is beauty and i find it very inspirational.

4. What's on your plate currently?

well, as i write this i literally have a plate in front of me - its contents: fresh spinach, white bean and basil hummus all wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. In my drawer for later is an Organic dark chocolate bar, with cherries and almonds (from Whole Foods!)

5. What do you hope to contribute to the reader?

Hopefully, a natural and exciting approach to the sweet things in life!

6. When did Baking/Cooking become your top priority?

i have always loved baking from a young age. My mother is an amazing cook and baker - i have fond memories of pulling a stool up in the kitchen as she rolled out fresh pie crust, or mixed cookie dough. Baking (and gradually cooking) has become more of a priority since living on my own here in the city - where bakers (and cooks) are few and far between!

7. What are 5 items you cannot live without?

Water, My little Blue Bike, an Oven, Flour, and Good Chocolate

8. What's your motto you live by?

Don't eat Fake Food.

9. Your favorite song to belt out in any given situation?

Ha! Sara Mclachlan's "i will remember you"

10. What was the hardest obstacle to overcome?

Getting the Yeast to Froth!
