We recently connected with Eva Horner and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Eva with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
I get my work ethic from my mom. I floundered for a lot of years before I figured out what I wanted to do, but through all of that, I’ve watched my mom. She’s a military veteran, who served for 27 years, then she retired from the school district, and she still doesn’t quit. She’s almost 70 years young and travels the country with Team Rubicon helping clear areas that get destroyed by natural disasters. To be able to work half as hard as she does is the least I should expect from myself.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m a baker of delicious treats that are full of flavor, not sugar. Everything I bake is low in carbs and has zero added sugar. Some people call it “diet” food. Yes, it definitely CAN help people lose weight, if that is their goal. My purpose with learning to bake this way was to provide something delicious that wouldn’t raise your blood sugar. Diabetes is a serious disease and it needs to be taken seriously. My goal was to get mine under control and help others as well. And to show that healthy food doesn’t have to taste like cardboard.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
One thing that has definitely helped me, but I don’t know if I would call it a “skill”…my stubbornness. When I want something, I will do whatever it takes to get it. Another skill I have always had is being creative and artistic. This has helped me in coming up with new treats to bake so that I’m not just sticking to the same things over and over, I try new things that I think of, and most times, they are successful. Thirdly, I didn’t know how to bake my whole life, but I did know how to cook. They say cooking is art and baking is science…it can be both. And that’s what one trying to do.
Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?
I am looking to write an actual cook book. My goal this week is to get started. The challenge I’m facing is getting my brain to believe people will actually buy it. I know what I do is good, and everyone that tries my baking loves it, but translating that to a successful book, I’m really nervous about it.
