About mother’s

It all started as a way to preserve my mother's vast knowledge of different recipes, little tips & tricks, and as a whole, to celebrate the love of cooking for your loved ones.

I live in Saint Paul, MN with my husband Bjork and our dog Sage. My favorite things in life are a big plate of pad Thai, sunny days, and going to the dog park.

In this space, I am always sharing fresh, flavorful, (mostly) healthy recipes that I love to make and eat in my real, actual, every day life. If I wouldn’t eat it in real life, I won’t put in on the blog.

Simply sharing recipes that we made for people who are close to us, we hope to inspire others to do the same.

My goal is to inspire you with food that is both approachable AND exciting, whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, your roommates, or your friends.

I want you to be so excited about these recipes that you eagerly await 5pm when you can go home from work and start cooking.

On a related note, I absolutely LOVE seeing the food that you’re making. It will make my day if you tag @pinchofyum in your Instagram photos and stories!

We love to shout out our favorites on Fridays with our Reader Awards on Instagram Stories. Check it all online and see our freshest recipes.

Our goal is to inspire you with homemade meals that are both approachable and caring, whether you’re cooking for yourself or your family.
