Hi, I’m Miranda!
I have always loved to cook and for years have wanted to memorialize the recipes I loved from my own childhood and those my own children love during theirs. Mom’s Favorite Meals is that place.
I grew up in Appalachia (Eastern Kentucky) where we’re known for showing our love through preparing delicious food. My entire family, especially both of my grandmothers, were amazing cooks and I cherish the memories of my time in the kitchen with them.
Now, I love to share those special moments in the kitchen with my two daughters creating and sharing these recipes with you.
My first daughter was born just before the world shut down in 2020, and I spent a LOT of time in the kitchen trying to perfect my family’s recipes that, in true Appalachian culture fashion, were never written down. I’ll never forget the day I perfected my Mamaw’s homemade biscuit recipe and was finally able to share it with my whole family. Food truly has a way of nourishing not only our tummies but also our hearts.
During that time, I also worked to perfect fun new recipes of my own, like my now “famous” (at least with my own family) chocolate chip cookies. I am on a mission to be the house where my kids’ friends want to spend time, and making kid-friendly food and hosting fun gatherings is my current strategy.
I’ve been a blogger since 2018 when I launched my plus size fashion and lifestyle blog, The Plus Life. I occasionally shared my recipes with my audience there but as my passion for cooking and creating family friendly meals grew, I knew it was time to launch a new space for this passion.
Thus, Mom’s Favorite Meals was born in 2024.
Welcome to this space. I hope to be your new “Mom Bestie” sharing recipes you and your entire family will love.
Happy cooking!
