#68: On this episode we speak with Dana Shultz the Co-Founder and Creative Director behind Minimalist Baker. One of the original food blogs that we all love and cook from. Minimalist Baker is known for her recipes made with 10 ingredients or less, 1 bowl, and they take 30-minutes or less to prepare. Dana and team have created such an approachable way to cook and make delicious foods and have just made it even easier with their new line of baking mixes (they are a must try!!). 

 

Here are some topics we discuss on todays episode:

  1. The origin story of starting minimalist baker
  • What Dana did before starting Minimalist Baker
