I’m Morgan! Wife, and mom of one busy little girl, and a sweet little boy with another little girl on the way!

I grew up in a home that always had The Food Network playing, & we were always trying new restaurants while traveling. I think that’s where my love for food started, but I didn’t realize it until I got married & was making dinner every night for my husband and I. What started as blindly searching Pinterest & cookbooks, trying new recipes and figuring out what we both liked, turned into a weekly meal plan with more ideas than I have days in the week! I look forward to trying new things, but love perfecting the simple, achievable, affordable, everyday meals that anybody can make.

I started sharing some of them on Instagram & was surprised how many people found it helpful! I was really burned out after 2021, & decided to take a step back from my photography business, even though I love it so much. But just a week into not having any “work” to do, I was driving myself crazy not feeling productive & having no projects to work on. I had a photography website that wouldn’t be used now, so I jumped in and started redesigning it, not knowing if I would actually make a go of this thing. Well, after a busy year raising this wild little girl, running a full time business as a wedding photographer, and becoming pregnant with our second child, I decided to give it a go and really put my energy into it.

We live in my husband’s rural hometown outside of Pasco, Washington. We spend our days picking “nonos” from the garden, arranging dahlia blossoms, baking sourdough bread, collecting fresh chicken eggs, or visiting Grandpa’s farm. I(not so secretly) can’t wait until the day we can have cows, pigs, and dogs of our own; and to watch our kids grow up loving on them like I dream of them doing.

My goal is to show busy parents that meal time can be enjoyable, delicious, and affordable! I hope to share our family’s favorite things, while also sharing tips to help your dollar go a little further, and probably a few random things here and there! Thanks for being here!

xoxo, Morgan
