About me

Hey friend! I’m Jasmine, and welcome to MealsWithGrandma.com, my cozy corner of the internet where family recipes, sweet moments, and secret kitchen tips come to life.

I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is more than just food, it’s memories served on a plate. It’s my way of passing down the heart, soul, and warmth of my family kitchen—the same way my grandma still does, one flour-dusted memory at a time.

🏡 It All Started in Grandma’s Kitchen…

I was born and raised in sunny Florida, where the kitchens smell like cinnamon, and grandmas are the best chefs in the world.

Growing up, my happiest moments were (and still are!) spent by my grandma’s side—tugging at her apron, sneaking cookie dough, and soaking up her kitchen magic. She never just cooks—she documents. Every recipe still comes with a little handwritten note:

“Jasmine wouldn’t stop crying while I shaped these cookies today,” or
“The rain started just as I popped the bread in the oven—lit a candle and smiled.”

One day, I asked her, “Why do you write down every single detail if you already know the recipe by heart?”
She smiled and said,

“Because cooking makes me feel things. And I want to remember the moments, not just the method.”

That moment shaped everything. To her (and to me), recipes aren’t just instructions, they’re little love stories on a plate. And that’s exactly what I want meals with grandma to be: a place where love, warmth, and stories are folded into every bite.

🍽 Why I Created Meals With Grandma

The heart of this blog? It’s simple: family, comfort, and sharing.

meals with grandma is where I share not just what to cook, but how to make it with heart. I created this blog to help:

• Busy moms who want quick, comforting meals
• New cooks looking for guidance, not guesswork
• Families trying to bring old traditions to the table
• And anyone who wants to cook with love—and a little secret tip from Grandma 😉

All the recipes here are free, easy to follow, and tested in real-life kitchens (with a few handwritten tricks you won’t find anywhere else).

🧁 What You’ll Find on the Blog

I keep things simple, soulful, and special.

At Meals With Grandma, you’ll find:

• Breakfast ideas that start your day with comfort
• Bakes & Desserts that bring smiles with every slice
• Drinks that feel like a hug in a mug
• Secret Grandma Tips—like why room-temp eggs make fluffier cakes or how a pinch of salt changes everything
• Real advice for home cooks who just want food that works, tastes good, and feels like home

And every recipe comes with a sprinkle of story—because cooking should stir your soul, not just your spoon.

🎉 A Personal Touch

Some of my favorite moments? Sharing recipes with my family on holidays, birthdays, or just-because days.

Like the time I made cupcakes for my dear friend Emma’s birthday—she still talks about them German Chocolate Poke Cake. I love when someone says, “Can you bake me something?”—because that’s how I know food connects us.

👩‍🍳 A Bit About Me

I’m not a trained chef. I’m a Florida girl with flour on her hands, love in her heart, and a grandma who taught her that every meal tells a story.

She still fills her notebook with scribbles, stories, and the kind of tips you only learn by doing. She believes (and reminds me often!) that food connects generations, and that cooking should be joyful, even if you spill the milk or burn the first batch.

That spirit lives in every post, every recipe, and every warm bite on this blog.

🫶 You’re Family Here

My mission? To make Meals With Grandma feel like that kitchen table you grew up around. The one where plates were passed, laughter was shared, and food meant more than just food.
