Welcome to my kitchen!

Hi there! I’m Emily – the heart and hands behind Magazinerecipes.com.

My love for cooking began in a tiny kitchen in Oregon, where I grew up watching my dad turn everyday ingredients into unforgettable meals. That spark of creativity (and lots of taste-testing!) turned into a lifelong passion for sharing recipes that bring people together.

These days, I cook for my two wonderful kids, my daughter Lila and my son Jack, who are my biggest taste-testers and honest critics. My sister Grace often joins me in the kitchen, lending a helping hand and plenty of laughter as we try new dishes together.

My husband, Mark, passed away twenty years ago while serving in the army. His memory still inspires many of the comforting, heartfelt meals I share here, recipes that remind us to gather, love, and savor life’s moments.

Here at Magazinerecipes.com, you’ll find a mix of comforting classics, quick weekday meals, and a few sweet surprises – all made with love and simplicity. My goal? To help you feel inspired, confident, and excited every time you step into your kitchen.

Let’s make something delicious together.
Thanks for stopping by – and don’t be a stranger!
