And momhomerecipes is my little corner of the internet!
I launched momhomerecipes in 2015 while I was juggling two kids, a full‑time job as a graphic designer, and a never‑ending list of school projects. What began as a private notebook of family‑friendly meals quickly turned into a simple WordPress blog after I posted my first “One‑Pot Chicken Alfredo” recipe for a school potluck. The post got 2,300 views in a single weekend, and I realized I might actually have something worth sharing.
Fast forward to 2025, and momhomerecipes now hosts more than 1,200 recipes and welcomes roughly 120,000 unique visitors each month. In June 2023 we were featured in Taste of Home for our “30‑Minute Weeknight Dinners” roundup, and the site earned its first “Best Family Food Blog” award from the Texas Food Bloggers Association in 2024. I’ve also added a weekly newsletter (2,800 subscribers) and a short video series that streams on YouTube, helping busy parents see a new dish in under three minutes.
I live in Austin, Texas, with my husband Mark, our 9‑year‑old Lily, and our 6‑year‑old son Noah. When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll find me tending to our backyard tomato vines, hunting vinyl records at local thrift shops, or sipping a latte while listening to Lily’s piano practice. My favorite things are Sunday morning pancakes, a good handwritten recipe card, and the sound of a sizzling skillet.
One quirky habit I’ve kept since the early days is writing every new recipe on a yellow legal‑pad before I type it up. It feels like a little ritual that reminds me why I started this site in the first place—sharing honest, home‑cooked food with friends I’ve never met. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you find something that makes your family’s table a little brighter.
