Hi! I’m Laura, and welcome to My Dinner Ideas. I’m married, and we have a joyful 5-year-old who keeps us on our toes. Our home is filled with giggles and little adventures every day!
My little one loves to help in the kitchen. Whether it’s pretending to be a chef or making a mess with flour, we always end up having loads of fun together.
When I’m not whipping up new recipes, I enjoy cozying up with a good book while my hubby and kiddo play superheroes in the living room.
I love my family so much. Every meal we share brings us closer, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Our dinner table is full of laughter and love!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
It all came about thanks to my lovely little family. My 5-year-old, who always joins me in the kitchen, kept saying, “Mom, these should be for everyone to try!” Those cheerful words made me think about sharing my recipes with more folks who might enjoy them.
But at first, the idea of starting a blog seemed like a big mountain to climb. I had no clue about blogging, and just imagining getting started was a bit scary. I doubted whether I could really do it or if anyone would be interested in what I had to offer.
Then my wonderful husband chimed in, saying, “Laura, you make the best dinners. People would love this!” His encouragement really helped me feel bold enough to take that first step. His support and confidence in my ideas were the nudge I needed to dive into the blogosphere.
Of course, there were some bumps along the way. Figuring out how to keep regular posts and capturing decent pictures of my meals were tough at first. But with a lot of practice and some hilarious behind-the-scenes moments, I slowly got better and found my rhythm.
Pinterest seemed to be just the right place for my blog. It felt like a friendly community where food enthusiasts gather. I loved the idea of sharing my recipes on a platform where others, just like me, enjoy discovering new cooking ideas. It was truly inspiring!
Even with a few hurdles, being able to count on my family encouraged me to carry on. Every try got me better, and it’s been awesome to grow with each recipe I share. I’m thrilled I took a chance on this journey, and it’s been such a joy ever since!
My Routine, Recipe Selection, and Photography
My daily routine is a bit of a juggling act, but I always carve out time for cooking. I usually sit down each morning to plan meals that will bring smiles to my family’s faces—it’s like a little food adventure!
When I pick recipes to share, I focus on ones that are not only easy and tasty but also those my family adores. I love trying out new ingredients and flavors, so we never get bored at the dinner table.
As I prepare each recipe, I take my time to make sure everything is just right. I enjoy mixing flavors and presenting the dish nicely, so it gets me excited to share it with everyone!
Food photography is so much fun for me! I rely on natural light to make the food pop, and I love trying different angles. It’s a bit of a fun challenge to capture how delicious everything really looks!
