Hi there! I’m Rachel, happily married and mom to a sweet little 4-year-old. Welcome to Family Dinner Magic. Our days are filled with giggles, games, and sometimes a bit of mischief!
My little one loves turning dinner into an art project. We’ve had broccoli trees and mashed potato mountains all over our plates! It’s silly but always makes us laugh together.
As for me, I’ve got this funny habit of talking to my plants while I cook. They haven’t complained yet, so I think they like it!
Honestly, these family meals are my favorite moments. They’re filled with love, laughter, and a sprinkle of creativity, making our house feel like a happy, magical place!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
It all began with my little one’s love for turning dinner into playful art. Every meal became a new adventure on our plates. My spouse would often say, “”You should capture these moments and share them!”” Their enthusiasm made me think about sharing this magic with others.
Starting a blog, though, felt like launching a spaceship! I had no clue where to begin. All those techy blog things seemed so confusing to me. I worried I’d never be able to share my sprinkle of magic with the world.
But my spouse stepped in, cheering me on with lots of love and pep talks. They said, “”Just start with what you know—your amazing meals! You’ll learn the rest.”” Their confidence in me was a breath of fresh air.
Consistency was tough at first. I had to learn how to keep the blog updated, and taking mouth-watering photos was a whole new world. But each meal and photo gradually got better with patience and persistence.
Pinterest felt like my natural ally from the start. It seemed the perfect place for connecting with other food lovers looking for creative, family-friendly recipes. Plus, it lets me share my family’s dinner magic with folks ready to explore new culinary adventures!
Despite the challenges, I kept going because of my family’s encouragement and my love for sharing our food stories. Blogging has been a delightful journey, and I’m grateful I took that first step!
My Routine, Recipe Selection, and Photography
My day always starts with a bit of chaos, but I love making time to cook. I plan meals during the morning, thinking about what my little one will enjoy and what yummy flavors are in season. It’s a fun way to kick off the day!
When I pick recipes to share, I focus on family favorites and try to add some creative touches. I also love using seasonal produce to keep things fresh and exciting. It’s like a little surprise for everyone at the table!
Preparation is such a joy for me! I take my time to mix flavors and make each dish fun and colorful. I want every meal to look delightful, especially since we eat with our eyes first, right?
Food photography is a blast! I love using natural light and playing around with angles. Making each plate look appealing is like a little game, and it brings out all the yummy details. It’s always an enjoyable challenge for me!
