About

Who is behind The Knead for Speed?  Because I like to maintain some amount of anonymity, I won’t share my real first name.  My middle name, however, is Marie, so that’s what I go by in cyberspace.

I’m also a teenager, albeit certainly not a typical teenager.  I’m a competitive student athlete who both cooks and eats like a runner. 

Delicious, healthy, and wholesome grub.

This blog is dedicated to experimentation and good-quality, yet off-the-beaten-path, recipes.  You won’t find many so-called “normal” recipes here, as food preparation must pose some kind of novelty for me to invest the necessary time and effort. 

One might also wonder, Is this girl a human garbage disposal?  How on Earth can any single individual consume so many baked goods? 

Really, there’s never a shortage of eager consumers.  For one, my family quite delights in taste-testing.  I take many creations to a nearby hospice where my grandmother recently died as well.  I feel it’s so important to give back to the selfless nurses who helped her, as well as uplift members of other families going through a similar experience, and baking is my way of doing that.

When I’m not pouring over a textbook, cooking in the kitchen, or taking pictures with my beloved camera, one would most likely find me on the trails or on a track running repeats.  Most would consider it self-torture hardcore dedication.  What can I say, I really love to run! 

To my readers: if, for any reason, you would like to contact me, I plan to set up a separate e-mail account for those purposes very soon.  Until then, feel free to leave comments with your remarks, questions, or concerns!
