About Me

Hello & Welcome to Our Love Language is Food!

I’m so glad you’re here.

Elevating the everyday through easy family friendly recipes, healthy eats, yummy treats, and delicious drinks. 

Let me introduce myself. I’m Meredith. A photography nerd who loves to cook, bake, and mix drinks to share with my loved ones. 

Growing up in a tight-knit family in the Midwest, so many of my favorite memories were made around a big table sharing food that everyone helped to prepare. I started Our Love Language is Food to help other aspiring cooks and bakers feel confident in the kitchen so they can bring these types of experiences into their home too. 

Keeping meals interesting, fun, and easy.

Spending time planning fun meals and working together in the kitchen is one of the greatest joys of our marriage. Which is one of the reasons I’m here. I want to share this joy of cooking, creating, and experimentation with you!

My goal is to provide you with awesome recipes to share with your family and friends, taking the guesswork out of it for you.

Simple, local, and seasonal ingredients.

I’m a big advocate of using what you have and purposely use standard pantry items for most of my recipes (there are some exceptions…hello matcha powder!). I do this because I believe cooking and baking should be approachable for everyone.

I do my best to eat seasonally and like to use ingredients grown and produced locally. I tag my recipes by season when applicable so you know when the fresh ingredients in that recipe are in season. This gives you the opportunity to look for these ingredients at your local farmers market. It also lets you know when you will find the very best version of these ingredients at your local grocery store.

Let’s get cooking!

You do not need a big, fancy kitchen with all kinds of special gadgets to create amazing food. A few basic tools will get the job done. 

So let’s dive in and make something delicious.
