About this site
I love writing. Creating, reading, talking about it, and editing it. And I love food. Looking at it, smelling it, tasting it, making it, celebrating the variety that we have. Two plus two equals four…so you put them all together, you do the hokey pokey, and I write about food here, among other things. I created this site to write about some of the things I’ve learning about experiencing food, and I hope that some of the things will help you in your food experience. Among other things, I studied nutrition, editing, and English–all of which I am passionate about. And here we come full circle. You’ll see all those topics, and maybe a few others appear.
Erin In real life
In real life, I’m a freelance editor, writer, and designer. I specialize in health/wellness, academic, lifestyle, marketing, corporate, trade, and food (you guessed it) communications. Which I suppose also means that I’m open to most projects but particularly enjoy these areas. I have worked with a variety of mediums and genres and am open to new possibilities. I am currently accepting new clients; for more information or to inquire about a bid, contact me at sproutedwriting@gmail.com.
That’s all you need to know to enjoy this site! Sprout something good, why don’t you. (So clever…)
Oh my dear friend!
Reading over your site brought back many memories of several of your “cleaver” kitchen creations, which you so graciously bestowed on anyone around. You have always had a giving, unselfish nature. And I can see many years of hard work beginning to take formation with this site. Keep it up, I look forward to trying more of your quick (ie. less than 10 min) recipes.

What are you eating in this photo?!…..It looks amazing whatever it is!
It is a Midwestern staple…Minnesota, specifically, and helps Minnesotans to rival Texans for state pride. It’s a bratwurst, which Minnesotans think are normal and common, but Minnesotans are offended when someone calls them a “hot dog.” So don’t do that. The photo was taken because my dad thought this was a once-ever moment, since I’m not big on beef prods and fatty things. Have to admit, they are good, though Dad might be right. If you want a Minnesota (originally from WI, imported and now kind of native) specialty, this is it. MM says you really can’t get them out of state.
I didn’t realize that you were blogging from so close! Greetings from Wisconsin

Thank you for thinking of me in your prayers. Loved your blog. Jess
LOVE this photo! Must try to convince hubby to try Lactaid. Although I must confess I often sneak in a bit of cream cheese and/or Romano into many things. Don’t tell! xoxo
that is the best picture!
Hi Erin, I’m a freelance food writer from Minneapolis, also! I’m graduating from the U in May, I’d love to get together with you to get some advice from you. Oddly enough, my blog is also called Sprout. (Because I was working on a vegetable farm this summer.)
