About me

I’m Amanda, the recipe creator behind MealDelights.com…

I’m the kind of person who gets way too excited over a new set of wooden spoons, has way too many cookbooks stacked on the kitchen counter, and will happily talk about food all day long.

I live just outside of Portland (well, close enough), and when I’m not chasing my kids around or wiping flour off the dog, I’m in the kitchen — stirring, testing, photographing, and sometimes just daydreaming about dinner.

How MealDelights Started

I’ve always loved to cook, but it wasn’t until the pandemic hit that something shifted. Like so many people, I turned to my kitchen for comfort. I started recreating family classics, inventing new ones, and sharing them online… mostly just so I wouldn’t forget them.

One thing led to another, and before I knew it, MealDelights became this cozy little corner of the internet where I could pour my heart into recipes — and connect with people who just wanted to make good food, simply.

I believe in easy ingredients, everyday magic, and meals that bring people together.

Whether you’re here for dinner inspiration, a feel-good dessert, or just to scroll through photos when you’re hungry (no judgment!), I’m so glad you found your way here.
