About Me

Hi There!

Hi! I'm Monique. I like to cook, write, play music, and take photos. I recently moved from Trenton to a farm on the Iowa-Minnesota border, where my husband is a fourth-generation farmer. The farm life is pretty swell: I get to bake all day with wheat from our fields, hang out with my little flock of chickens, and hunker down for some very extreme (but cozy!) winters.

​

Starting a food blog requires hard work, therefore I had to work on my food photography and on making Cooking With Natalie SEO friendly. I had to learn many technical terms, and coming from a Banking background, that took some time.

I’m not a Chef, but I love to cook and create new recipes, you can say that I like to play with my food but in a creative and fun way.
