Hi there! I’m Sarah, and welcome to Mama Made Meals. I’m married and we have three awesome kids. They’re 3, 6, and 9 years old. Our days are full of giggles, tiny adventures, and playful chaos!
The little ones love helping in the kitchen. It’s a mix of fun and mess every time we bake cookies. They call themselves “Mini Chefs,” and we end up with flour everywhere!
Besides cooking, I adore reading novels whenever I can find a quiet moment. It’s my little escape, though it mostly happens after the kids fall asleep.
My family is my heart and world. Despite the busy days, their laughter and hugs make every moment so precious. I cherish every meal we share, even if it’s messy!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
My blog idea came about thanks to my kids, who, in their own adorable way, said I should share my cooking adventures. They’re my biggest fans, always excited to help out in the kitchen, and they thought other families would love to see what we create together.
At first, I was hesitant. Starting a blog seemed like a giant task, and I didn’t know the first thing about blogging or where to start. I was a bit lost and didn’t think I could add something new to all the content that’s already out there.
But my husband boosted my courage by saying, “Just share your joy of cooking. People will love it!” His belief in me and my cooking adventures gave me the confidence I needed to explore this new possibility and begin my blogging journey.
One of the biggest challenges I faced was keeping up with regular postings, along with making sure my photos of our messy, yet delicious creations looked good. I struggled at first but slowly got the hang of capturing our kitchen fun.
Pinterest seemed like the perfect place for my blog. It’s a treasure trove of fabulous food ideas and has a wonderful community of food lovers. Sharing my recipes there felt natural, like joining a giant table of people who love food too.
Even with the hiccups along the way, I kept going. My family’s cheers kept my spirits high, and sharing what I love has become an adventure I truly enjoy. I’m thrilled to be part of this blogging world and grateful to everyone who encouraged me to dive in!
My Routine, Recipe Selection, and Photography
My days are a fun whirlwind! I usually start in the morning by planning our meals. I try to pick recipes that everyone will love and that fit the season. It’s like a little treasure hunt each day!
When choosing recipes, I focus on family favorites, easy-to-make dishes, and new ideas that catch my eye. I also love using fresh, seasonal ingredients so everything tastes extra yummy.
For recipe prep, I like to take my time and enjoy the process. I make sure everything tastes amazing and looks good before diving into the photography. It’s all about making the food inviting!
Speaking of photography, I enjoy capturing our meals in natural light. I like trying different angles to show off how delicious everything looks. It’s a fun way to share our kitchen magic with everyone!
