And dailyfoodhub is my little corner of the internet!
I launched dailyfoodhub in 2018 while I was still working full‑time as a graphic designer in Portland. I started the site on a rainy Tuesday, simply because I wanted a place to jot down the quick weeknight meals I was experimenting with after work. What began as a handful of scribbled recipes on a shared Google Doc has turned into a full‑blown food hub that now hosts over 1,200 tested recipes and attracts about 45,000 unique visitors each month.
In 2020 I added a weekly newsletter, and within a year it grew to 8,300 subscribers who receive my “5‑Minute Meal” roundup every Thursday. The site also now features a searchable recipe index, a seasonal ingredient guide, and a community forum where home cooks swap tips. In March 2023 we celebrated our 10,000th recipe comment, a milestone that reminded me how much this community has come to mean.
I live in Asheville, North Carolina, with my husband, two rescue dogs, and a houseplant collection that rivals my spice rack. When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll find me hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains, hunting for vinyl records at local thrift shops, or sipping a cold brew while scrolling through food blogs for inspiration. My favorite comfort foods are a bowl of ramen, fresh peach cobbler, and a perfectly crisp slice of sourdough.
One quirky habit I have is that I always taste‑test a dish with my left hand—just a little superstition I picked up from my grandma. It’s a small reminder that cooking, at its core, is about the personal touches we bring to the table. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you’ll find something here that makes your own kitchen feel a bit cozier.
