Hey there! Welcome to Baking With Mom! I am Kim Strawn the owner, writer and recipe developer of Baking With Mom.
I spend about 75% of my day in the kitchen. Between making meals for my family, cleaning up from the meals and cleaning all the sticky fingerprints off of the refrigerator, the kitchen has become an important room of the house! I make food for not only my family but large groups of people, sports teams and a lot of hungry teenagers. Trust me, they are food critics... so the food recipes need to be delicious!

Every busy woman needs recipes that can be whipped up in a hurry. Soccer, basketball, cross country all leave us busy with not much time to prepare meals.
Here at Baking With Mom, we get that. So our recipes are easy, delicious and filling, 30 Minute Recipes for the win! Crock Pot meals are the norm around here and casseroles you can freeze for later are important, like our popular Hamburger Casserole. Want to see all of our recipes? Here is our Recipe Index.

I have been featured in Parade and Country Living. I have had the honor to work with brands such as Farm Rich, Kraft and International Delight.
Our University of Oklahoma Meteorology graduate!
A Little About Me
When I got married, I didn't know much about cooking and baking. However, I knew I wanted to learn! The more I was in the kitchen, the more I realized how much I love creating new recipes and serving food to those around me.
I am asked often to provide food for baby showers and wedding showers, team meals and bake sales. My recipes have been used for family dinners, large gatherings and parties. It is an honor to make and share recipes worthy of being used to serve others.
I am thankful for my thousands of followers on social media including Facebook, Pinterest, Tiktok (@thebakingwithmom) and Instagram (@thebakingwithmom).
