The Butterfly Chronicles

Hey there! Welcome to my lifestyle blog! I'm Nicole, but you can call me Nic or Nikki. I'm your average small-town girl from the Midwest who loves cooking and baking for my friends and family. When I'm not in the kitchen whipping up something delicious, you usually find me curled up with a good book, spoiling my adorable furbaby, Winston.

I'm also a big sports fan, cheering on my Iowa Hawks and my Chicago teams—the Bears, Cubs, and Blackhawks. I can't resist a good Hallmark movie; I’m all about those love stories and mysteries! So, come along with me as I share my favorite recipes, book and show recommendations, restaurant reviews,  selfcare tips and a little glimpse into my kitchen and the cozy small-town life I love. I’m excited to have you here!
