Hi there! I’m Rebecca, married, with three wonderful kids. They’re 4, 7, and 9. Welcome to my blog, Tasty Home Journal. Our home is always filled with laughter and little adventures!
My kids love helping in the kitchen. Once, my 4-year-old tried cracking eggs, and we had more shell than yolk! We laughed for days. These moments make every meal special and fun.
When I’m not chasing after them, I enjoy a quiet cup of tea and fiddling with puzzle games. It’s my mini escape and keeps my mind sharp after a busy day.
My family means everything to me. Their smiles and giggles fill our home with love, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They’re my little world, and I cherish every moment!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
One day, amidst the kitchen chaos and giggles, my kids said, “Mom, you should share your cooking!” They always loved helping and tasting my dishes, which got me thinking about reaching out to more people with my recipes. Their excitement was contagious.
But honestly, I was clueless about where to start. The idea of blogging felt intimidating, and I had doubts about putting my culinary creations on the internet. It seemed like a huge leap from our cozy kitchen to a wide online audience.
That’s when my wonderful husband chimed in. He told me, “Your food always brings us joy; others will love it too! Give it a shot.” His belief in me was the push I needed to explore blogging. His encouragement was my biggest motivator.
I faced challenges, like figuring out how to post consistently and take appealing pictures of my dishes. Plus, getting past the occasional writer’s block was tough. But slowly, I learned to improve with each post, never backing down from the challenge.
Pinterest seemed like a natural fit for sharing my recipes. It was a place where food lovers gathered, making it perfect to connect and share all the fun and creativity from our kitchen. It felt like the right community to be a part of.
Despite the bumps in the road, my family’s support kept me going. Each step was worth it as I saw my cooking connect with others. It’s been an amazing journey, and I’m grateful I took the leap, making my passion reach so many more hearts!
My Routine, Recipe Selection, and Photography
My daily routine is a lively mix of family fun and cooking. I carve out time in the mornings to plan meals, thinking about what will bring smiles and joy, which makes each cooking day feel like a little celebration!
For recipes, I often choose family favorites or try out new ideas that catch my eye. Seasonal ingredients inspire me too! I love to mix things up and keep the meals exciting for everyone around our dinner table.
When preparing recipes, I like to take my time. Each dish is made with care, ensuring the flavors work well together. I always pay attention to how everything looks before snapping pictures; I want them to shine and look yummy!
Speaking of pictures, food photography is a fun challenge! I use natural light to make the dishes look fresh and delicious. Trying out different angles is a playful way to capture the joy of cooking that I love to share!
