Hi, my name is Karen! Welcome to Baking With Bullets!

I am so glad you found us! At this point I am sure you are wondering “What is Baking With Bullets?”. Ten years ago, I made a decision to take my protection and self-defense into my own hands. I shot my first handgun on my first date with my now husband, Duane. Quickly I realized I wanted to learn more. I wanted to be confident enough with a firearm to defend myself if needed.

My search for more information began where everyone goes, the world wide web. In my search, I found googling things like ‘girls and guns’ and ‘women and firearms’ gave me results for tomboys and gun bunnies. Which I am neither.

I love coffee, home decor, chocolate, wine, baking, sappy romance movies, being a mom and being a wife. I found nothing online that I could relate to.

I am now a firearms instructor and amateur baker. Baking With Bullets is where my two passions collide. It is food blog and a firearm resource for women who want to learn to protect themselves in between dropping the kids off at school, putting in a full day at work, and running to the grocery store. I hope to inspire and encourage women like myself. I want women to know regardless of your lifestyle you can learn to defend and protect yourself and your loved ones.
