Tara Heibel: Meet The 'Perfect House Plant'
A 50's Home Gets A Modern Day New Look

Writer
Emily returned to her hometown of Kansas City in 2009 after nearly nine years in Brooklyn, New York. She has written for Gourmet.com, BUST, Women's Wear Daily, CNN.com, My Midwest, The Frisky, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, Slashfood.com, Edible Brooklyn and many publications and websites you've probably never heard of. She was the founding lifestyle editor of KCFreePress.com and before that, edited Nerve.com's pop culture blog, Scanner. Her first cookbook, "Casserole Crazy: Hot Stuff for Your Oven," was published by Penguin in 2008. In the fifth grade, Emily won the D.A.R.E essay contest. She now splits her time (not equally) between a tiny pied-à-terre in Brooklyn and a ridiculously large apartment in Kansas City she shares with her boyfriend, her cat, her dog and her well-stocked liquor cabinet (because she has room for a liquor cabinet). She collects turquoise trinkets, vintage Pyrex and the letter "Q."
