And easymumeats is my little corner of the internet!
I first started cooking for fun back in 2015, but it wasn’t until 2018—while I was still working nights as a graphic designer—that I began sharing quick‑and‑easy meals with a few friends on a private Facebook group. The response was so encouraging that I launched easymumeats in March 2021, right after I quit my day job to cook full‑time. In just two years the site has grown to over 120 tested recipes, 45,000 monthly visitors, and a newsletter community of 15,000 hungry readers.
What began as a simple “I made this, want the recipe?” blog has turned into a small hub for busy people who still want flavor. In June 2023 we were featured in Foodie Magazine for our “5‑Ingredient Weeknight Wonders” series, and earlier this year we added a video tutorial library that now has more than 300,000 combined views. I’m constantly tweaking the site—adding a printable grocery list tool in September 2024 and launching a seasonal “Pantry Clean‑out” challenge that attracted 3,200 participants in its first month.
I live in Asheville, North Carolina, with my partner Alex and our two rescue dogs, Luna and Milo. When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll find me strolling the Saturday farmers market, hiking the Blue Ridge trails, or digging through my vinyl collection for a good jazz record. One quirky habit of mine is that I can poach an egg perfectly in exactly 63 seconds—something I’m still trying to teach my dogs to appreciate.
