Hi! I'm Kimiko, the creator of The Beachside Baker. I recently graduated from a nursing program and passed my state boards (the dreaded NCLEX-RN exam!) so I am now officially a Registered Nurse! In the meantime, I try to find time to pursue my other love of food by cooking and baking whenever I have the chance.

I currently reside in Long Beach, California with my amazing husband, Tony, my wonderful dog, Molly, and a little one on the way! I moved here 6 years ago and couldn't be happier. Nothing beats the sunny weather of Southern California! Tony is my "official taste-tester," so nothing goes on the blog without his approval!

About the Blog
I started this blog in September 2011 as a way to keep track of the recipes I make, and also to make them available for others to enjoy. When I first decided to start this blog, I struggled to think of a creative name, but finally decided on The Beachside Baker. Although this is not strictly a baking blog, I think it suits it well. Since I live by the ocean and love to bake, I find it appropriate and catchy!
I collect many of my recipes and inspiration through a variety of sources: recipe books, food magazines (Bon Appetit and Cooking Light are currently my favorites), food blogs, and Pinterest, just to name a few. I hope that as this blog continues to grow, I can continue to update and improve the blog. I look forward to posting more recipes and receiving more feedback from you! Feel free to contact me with any comments or suggestions.
**You can also follow along for more frequent updates, and peeks into my food life, on Instagram! My username is @thebeachsidebaker. Hope to see you there!**
