A Brand Called Kara

Beginnings are hard.

Here’s a little insight into what I’m doing here and why.

1. Life sucks

I’m not joking, I’m in the throes of it right now. But what better time to start? I’ve been told that my authenticity is unmatched and I won’t lie, I don’t candy-coat much of anything. Sure, sometimes I might try to sound more professional, but this will always be a place for my voice to be heard, authentically.

2. What are you looking to achieve here, Kara?

Well I've been doing some character development and I’ve realized that the one thing I have to offer the world is ME. My brand. I may be a bit hard-headed and probably downright annoying to some, but I am also creative, thoughtful, passionate, and these things definitely come through in my cooking. So that is what I’m doing, I’m building a brand based on me and my cooking.

3. Who is this NOT for?

This is probably not for people who get annoyed reading the person’s life story at the beginning of the recipe because this is going to be a lot of writing, and probably fewer recipes. Also, I’m one of those people that hates to hear about how Cathy didn’t grow up with a father so she spent her weeknights eating canned meat with her cat before getting to the ingredients list of a coconut cream pie recipe. So I won’t blame you if you are not into my brand, it is what it is. But mostly this will be a blog for those wanting to read true, sometimes insightful stories, and get some good food ideas along the way.

4. Are you going to preach at me?

Probably so, if I’m feeling particularly passionate about something. I am fully devoted to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I’m not going to shy away from that. This is the first time in my life where I have been so unapologetically faithful in my relationship with my Creator, and I don’t intend to dumb it down for anyone.
