Hey there! I’m Kelly, and you’re visiting Simply Tasty Life. I’m married and have two energetic kids. They’re 4 and 7, always keeping us on our toes with their little adventures!
Our evenings are often spent making messy sundaes and giggling over silly stories. The kids love adding extra sprinkles, even though half of them end up on the floor!
I have a quirky habit of humming while I cook. My family jokes that it’s my secret magic for making food taste better. It’s just who I am!
Family is everything to me, and their smiles make all the chaos worthwhile. I love seeing their happy faces, especially around our kitchen table, where memories are always cooking!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
It all kicked off when my kids, with ice cream-covered smiles, suggested, “Mom, why not share your recipes with everyone?” Their joy in our kitchen adventures made me see the magic we create could spread warmth to others too. It was their enthusiasm that sparked the idea of starting a blog.
At first, I was a bit clueless about where to begin. The thought of starting a blog seemed daunting, and I worried about all the tech stuff. Posting my recipes online felt like a big step, and I hesitated, wondering if I could really pull it off.
Then, my spouse, always my biggest cheerleader, nudged me forward. “You hum your magic into every meal,” they said. “Let others enjoy it too.” With their encouragement, I decided to jump in and give it a whirl, feeling a little more confident to explore the blogging world.
Learning to keep up with regular posts and making my food look as delicious in photos as it does in real life were my biggest hurdles. But each attempt, even the hits and misses, taught me tons. Slowly, my blogging skills started to grow, piece by piece.
Pinterest seemed like the ideal spot to share my recipes because it’s all about discovery and ideas. It felt like a natural fit to connect with other food lovers. Sharing on Pinterest has brought my kitchen tales to life, letting me bond with fellow food fans.
Despite the initial challenges, I kept going. My family’s laughter and belief in me made it all worthwhile. I cherished every moment, loving the journey of learning and sharing, making it a truly rewarding experience!
My Daily Routine, Recipe Choices, and Food Photography
My daily routine is a fun mix of busy and exciting! I usually start my day with a cup of coffee while planning meals. I love brainstorming recipes that my kids will enjoy, making cooking feel like a joyful quest!
When I pick recipes, I focus on family favorites and seasonal ingredients. I try to keep things simple but delicious. Sometimes, I even get inspired by what we see at the local farmer’s market. Fresh ingredients are the best!
Preparing recipes is a labor of love for me. I like to follow each step carefully, ensuring the flavors meld perfectly. It’s like creating a little piece of happiness on a plate before I share it with you all!
Food photography is definitely a fun challenge! I always use natural light and play around with different angles. I want the pictures to show just how yummy the food looks. It’s like a little creative adventure every time I cook!
