Karen is, simply put, amazing!
Her energy, compassion, love, understanding and pure authenticity make Karen a beloved person in my life.
Not only does she cook and bake for the families staying at Ronald McDonald House in London, Ontario several times per week… she offers her friendship to all those who surround her.
When times are tough – you’ll find Karen close by to offer a hug of support and words of wisdom.
When times are great – you’ll find Karen closer still bringing pure joy … and cookies!
This lovely lady baked over 100 oatmeal cookies for my daughter’s wedding for ice cream sandwiches for our guests.
She added the special ingredient of love to each and every one. They were the highlight of the evening.
With all this… Karen has my vote!!
Karen has been amazing cooking for a very busy family, as well as using her talents at RMHC to help many more families.
I love the idea of turning a love, cooking and meal preparation into a gift for others. I also cook for one so enjoyed seeing how one person approached it.
