Melissa Stadler Modern Honey Baking Cookies

ABOUT MELISSA STADLER

I was born to cook. As a toddler, you could find me on the tallest step stool, begging my Mom to let me help her in the kitchen. I watched my Mom and Grandma spend their days baking for their families and it was then I discovered that making food is a wholehearted expression of love.

As the only girl in a household with five brothers, I had to find my niche.  At an early age, I learned that spending time in the kitchen helped me survive growing up with so many boys. I spent my teenage years studying cookbooks and tweaking recipes in my Mom’s kitchen. After I got married, I spent my days creating new and innovative recipes for my friends and family and discovered how much I loved it.

In 2010, I started competing in and winning recipe contests. I spent the next five years traveling the country competing in some of the most prestigious cooking and baking contests (some are listed below).

Melissa Stadler Modern Honey Baking in Kitchen

I live in sunny Arizona with my husband of 23 years, our four children, and our goldendoodle, Bentley. My family is my whole world and my most avid taste testers. Along with being a cooking enthusiast and cookie connoisseur…I am a lover of home design and DIY projects, traveling, photography, crafting, reading, outdoor activities, exercising, being on the lake, hiking, bargain shopping, watching sports (Go Cougs!), and being a mama to my kids.

EDUCATION:

I attended Brigham Young University and Arizona State University.  I graduated with Cum Laude Honors from ASU with a BA degree in Communications. I continue to love to learn!
