Karen Bellessa Petersen

Karen Bellessa Petersen is a food blogger and cookbook author. She started her blog, www.365DaysOfCrockPot.com, in 2009 and has been creating scrumptious slow cooker meals ever since. Besides making easy meals in her slow cooker she also loves to spend time in the kitchen baking cookies. She loves to think about, talk about, make and eat cookies any chance she can. Her greatest goal is to help others realize they don’t have to settle for mediocre desserts. With all the foods she makes and eats she does require a little balance through exercise. She loves running and hiking and competing against herself to get better. She loves her church and learning more through the scriptures. She also loves listening to podcasts any chance she can get. She lives near Salt Lake City with her handsome husband, Greg, and amazing children, Reagan and Skyler. She loves watching her children participate in sports and their other activities. And she wishes and hopes they will learn to love running as much as she does.
