A favorite pastime for our family is traveling. My parents instilled in us a love for striking out to “see what we could see”. Whether it’s a trip overseas or simply a daylong road trip to see local scenery, we suffer from an incurable wanderlust. If I’m not planning a trip, I’m a little sad. […]

My name is Kathy Badger and I'd like to welcome you to The Wooded Glen, a tribute to the woman who raised me. My mom was affectionately called "Mama Bear" by her family. One of her restaurants was named “Mama Bear’s Bakery & Cafe" and was decorated as the “wooded glen” because, of course, that’s where Mama Bear lived.

As a mother, she instilled the importance of family and tradition in me and her grandchildren. As a caterer and entertainer, she was known for her culinary creations, table arrangements, and a style that made everyone feel special and pampered. Everything in the Wooded Glen is dedicated to her memory. It is my deep desire to share with all of you everything my mom taught me about the importance of family, tradition, and the art of entertaining.
