Hey there! I’m Simone, married, and a proud mom of two amazing kids, aged 4 and 7. Welcome to Fresh And Flavorful! Our family time is filled with laughter, play, and loads of fun in the kitchen!
My kids love helping me with meal prep, especially when there are cookies involved. My 4-year-old once got extra flour everywhere, and we all ended up looking like snowmen!
A personal quirk about me? I can’t start my day without dancing to a fun song. It makes the mornings bright and energetic for all of us!
My family is my everything, and every moment with them is a treasure. Cooking together and sharing meals makes our bonds stronger and our smiles wider. I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
It all began with my two enthusiastic little helpers saying, “”Mom, we should show people our yummy creations!”” My kids always bring such joy and excitement to meal times that I thought, why not share that with others?
But at first, I was clueless about how to start a blog. The whole process seemed like a big mystery, and I was worried that it might be too much to handle alongside everything else.
Then, with a gentle nudge from my husband who assured me, “Your recipes are worth sharing, just go for it!” I felt a surge of confidence. His encouragement inspired me to take the plunge and explore the blogging world.
The toughest part was figuring out consistency with posting and tackling food photography. And let’s not forget the playful challenges my kids added each session! Yet, little by little, I learned and improved.
Pinterest seemed like the perfect home for my recipes. It’s a place where food lovers gather, and I knew I could connect and share my love for cooking with a wider audience. It’s such an inspiring community!
Even with the hurdles, my family’s support kept me motivated, and the love for sharing our kitchen adventures made the journey worthwhile. I’m truly glad I embarked on this flavorful adventure!
My Daily Routine with Cooking and Recipes
My day is always a bit busy, but I find time to cook and have fun. I usually think about meals in the morning, choosing easy recipes that make my kids smile. Cooking is one of our favorite adventures!
I pick recipes based on what my family loves. Sometimes I try new ideas or use fresh veggies from the garden. It’s exciting to mix things up and find new family favorites we can all enjoy together!
When I prepare recipes for the blog, I take my time to make sure they taste great and look wonderful. I love getting everything just right, so the food shines and truly represents our family’s cooking style.
Food photography is such a fun challenge! I use natural light to make the dishes look colorful and yummy. Playing with different angles makes it exciting, and I love capturing the happy moments in the kitchen!
