Hey there! I’m Alexis, and welcome to With Love And Flavor. I’m married and have one beautiful kid who’s 4 years old. Our little munchkin keeps us on our toes and fills the house with giggles and joy!
Every weekend, we turn our kitchen into a fun zone. Our kid loves to “help” with baking – mostly by eating extra chocolate chips and smearing flour everywhere!
When I’m not chasing after our little explorer, I enjoy a quiet moment with a cup of coffee and a good book. It’s my small slice of paradise in our busy life.
My heart is full thanks to my lovely family. They bring spice and sweetness to my everyday life. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
It all began with my family cheering me on. My husband and our 4-year-old started saying, “You should share your yummy dishes!” Seeing how excited they were with my culinary creations, I thought, maybe it’s time to bring my recipes to everyone else.
At first, I hesitated. The world of blogging seemed huge and a bit scary. I wondered how to start, what to write, and if anyone would even see my posts. With so much on my plate, I almost didn’t try at all.
But my husband nudged me kindly, saying, “You’ll be amazing! Just give it a shot.” His unwavering support gave me the courage to explore more about blogging. Having him by my side made everything feel possible.
There were challenges, of course! Figuring out how to post regularly was tricky, and capturing my dishes beautifully in pictures was even harder. It took practice, persistence, and some flour fights to finally get the hang of it!
Pinterest seemed like the perfect fit for sharing my recipes. It’s a wonderful platform where food lovers gather, and I felt it was the right place to connect and share little pieces of my kitchen adventures. It really helped me reach out to people who appreciate good food.
Even with the bumps along the road, I kept going. My family’s love kept me motivated, and I truly enjoyed every bit of the blogging journey. Looking back, I’m so grateful I took that leap, and I cherish every moment of this tasty adventure!
My Daily Routine and Recipe Adventures
My daily routine is a bit packed, but I always find time to cook. Mornings are my planning time, where I think about meals that are fun for my kid and fit the season. It feels like a daily cooking quest!
For choosing recipes, I keep it simple! I focus on family favorites and try new things now and then. Seasonal ingredients inspire me, too, as I love to mix flavors that brighten our meals and make everyone smile.
When I prepare recipes for the blog, I take it slow to make sure everything tastes amazing. I like to get just the right colors and textures together, so everything looks delicious from the very start!
Food photography is such a joy! I always use natural light to make the food pop, and I enjoy finding the best angles to show off each dish. It’s a fun challenge that makes each meal feel like a little piece of art!
