Hey there! I’m Liam, and you’re on my blog, Tasty Home Journey. I’m married and have three amazing kids, aged 4, 7, and 10. Life is a whirlwind of fun and chaos with them around!
We love cooking together, and sometimes it turns into a messy but hilarious food fight. The kids adore making pizza, and their creativity with toppings is endless. It’s never a dull moment in our kitchen!
Besides cooking, I have this quirky habit of collecting vintage recipe books. My wife jokes about how they’re taking over the house, but she knows it’s my happy place.
Our family time means the world to me. Whether we’re laughing over dinner or making a mess with flour, these are the moments I cherish most. They bring so much joy to my life!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
So, the idea for my blog, Tasty Home Journey, came from my family. My kids and my wife were the ones who kept telling me, “Liam, you should share our kitchen adventures with the world!” Their enthusiasm got me thinking maybe I should give it a shot and let others join in on our fun.
At first, I was pretty hesitant. Blogging seemed like this big, scary thing I didn’t know much about. I wondered how I’d ever find the time or even where to begin. It felt a bit overwhelming, and I had my doubts on whether anyone would even be interested in our recipes.
But my wife, always the encourager, said, “Just try it out. You have a knack for making cooking fun, and others will love it too!” Her words gave me the push and assurance I needed to jump in. With her and the kids cheering me on, I started exploring this blogging adventure.
There were definitely challenges! Figuring out how to post regularly was hard, and I wasn’t great at taking pictures at first. Capturing the messiness and joy of our kitchen was tougher than it looked! But, step by step, I learned and got better at it, and now I really enjoy it.
Pinterest seemed like the perfect place to share our family recipes. It’s a spot full of food lovers just like us, and we can connect with people who appreciate fun, creative cooking. Whenever I pin something, it feels like I’m sharing a piece of our family magic with the world.
Even though there were bumps along the way, I kept at it. My family’s encouragement and the joy of trying new things kept me going. Starting this blog has been a fun journey for us all, and I’m really glad I listened to them and got it off the ground!
My Daily Routine, Recipe Choices, and Food Photos
My daily routine is a bit of a juggling act, but cooking is always a highlight! I usually plan our meals in the morning, picking recipes that my kids will love or trying something new. It makes each day feel special!
When I choose recipes to share, I often go for family favorites. I also like to experiment with fresh ingredients or seasonal dishes, keeping things fun and exciting. It’s all about what makes us happy at the table!
Preparing recipes for the blog is a lovely process. I take my time to make sure everything tastes great and looks inviting. I try to add little touches that will make the meals shine before snapping pictures.
Speaking of pictures, food photography is such a blast! I love using natural light and different settings to capture the beauty of each dish. It’s like a fun puzzle, and I always enjoy finding the perfect angle!
