about

Hi, I’m Kayla!

I live in Downtown Austin, Texas but I am originally from San Antonio (Go Spurs Go!)

My hobbies outside of the kitchen include tending to my plant children, reading cheesy murder mystery novels (please send me any and all recs I live for this shit), binging The Real Housewives, going to pilates and spin classes, and traveling (sad!)

I love food. I love eating food, I love making food, I love looking at food, I love thinking of food. Food is my life. I live to eat.

I began baking at a young age and I have always had a super intense sweet tooth that I just cannot control. I even worked at a cupcake bakery in college where I would take all of the leftover cupcakes from that day to parties after I was off work. I was known as “the cupcake girl” for a few years and you know what? I did not hate it.

I began teaching myself how to REALLY cook after college when I needed to learn how to make real food and stop going to Whataburger for every meal and I have since become somewhat of a pretty skilled ~amateur chef. Watching the Food Network was always something I loved growing up so I always had a pretty basic understanding of cooking, flavors, and food, and with my baking expertise I was able to pick it up pretty quickly!

I have been posting my adventures in food on my personal Instagram (@kayhaby) for years and after much thought and way too many people asking me for recipes— HERE WE ARE! I am super excited for you all to come on this journey with me and I cannot wait to see what you all make!
