Hey there! I’m Laura, and welcome to Dinner Ideas For All. I’m happily married and have two adorable kids, ages 4 and 7. Our house is always buzzing with their giggles and playful shenanigans!
The kiddos love helping me with dinner. It often ends in a flour fight when we bake cookies together. They insist on tasting everything, even when it’s raw veggies!
Besides cooking, I have a little habit of humming my favorite tunes while chopping veggies. It’s my way to bring some fun into meal prep, and sometimes the kids join in with their own little dances.
Family is everything to me. The laughter, quirky dance-offs, and shared dinners fill our home with love. I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything—they make my heart smile every day!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
It all started with those flour fights in the kitchen! My kids often said, “Mom, you should share our fun and cooking,” and those tiny voices planted the idea of a blog in my mind. They loved our kitchen adventures, and I thought—maybe others would too!
At first, I was a bit lost. I had zero clue about blogging. The whole idea of writing and sharing online seemed daunting. The thought of getting everything just right almost made me shy away from the idea.
Then, my wonderful husband gave me the nudge I needed. He said, “Laura, you’re always making amazing meals and fun memories. Why not share them?” His encouragement and belief in me were just the push I needed to get started!
The challenges were real. Learning to update the blog regularly and snapping photos that captured the fun of it all was tricky. Consistency was tough, and I struggled with making my food look as delicious in pictures as it does in real life.
Pinterest seemed like the perfect fit for me. It’s a great space for food lovers to find inspiration, and I wanted to be part of that community. It allows me to share recipes with people who truly value the joy of cooking and family fun.
Despite the ups and downs, I kept going because my family and the idea of sharing our little treasures with others brought me so much happiness. I’m thrilled I chose to start this blogging journey, and it’s been an exciting ride with my family cheering me on!
My Daily Routine, Recipe Picking, and Food Photography
My typical day is busy but fun! I make sure to carve out time for cooking after the kids are settled. Each morning, I think about what we can whip up together that everyone will love. It’s like planning a little adventure for dinner!
When I pick recipes to share, I focus on family favorites and simple, tasty dishes. Sometimes I get inspired by new ingredients in the store or seasonal goodies, which keeps things fresh and exciting in the kitchen!
As I prepare each recipe, I pay attention to the details to make sure everything tastes awesome. I love adding a personal touch, like a special spice or a fun ingredient that I know the kids will enjoy. It’s all about creating delicious meals!
Food photography is a blast for me! I rely on natural light to capture the yummy dishes, and I experiment with different angles. Each click is a little challenge, but I enjoy making the food look as scrumptious as it tastes!
