MyMothersLadle Food Blog: Quick Summary of The Influences
Hello and welcome to MyMothersLadle.com Food Blog!
I am Lisa and I create, write, photograph and edit the recipes on the site.
The main goal of MyMothersLadle.com is to share simple Italian influenced recipes. My viewpoint is that recipes that are easy to prepare make life easier in the kitchen.
Let me tell you a little bit about my background and how this food blog journey began!
Food and Family
Food and family has always been a key part of my life. My earliest childhood memories are surrounding food and family gatherings. Growing up in an Italian family there was always lots of food around.
I remember from a young age being a part of many homemade recipes such as bread, pizza, tomato sauce and chicken soup. I also remember the lovely garden my parents had. Oh those tomatoes were delicious in the summertime!
The staple ingredients we always had on hand was pasta, extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, garlic, Parmesan cheese and sea salt. And with these basic ingredients, we made some tasty meals!
The blog name is a nod to my mother from whom I learned to cook and because of her passion for cooking.
While we still have our old family recipes, we have added to them over the years.
Education
My formal education began with a degree in business. In recent years I became interested in social media. Because of this interest I decided to take some courses in this area and I completed a Social Media Marketing Certificate.
How the Food Blog Journey Started
After completing the Certificate, I decided to start a food blog. The decision was based on three things. The first was that the kitchen is where some of my best memories are while growing up. The other was that it would allow me to explore my creative side. Working on this food blog has allowed me to explore areas of creativity such as taking photos of food, videos of recipes and creating recipes from scratch. This has been both a lot of fun and a wonderful learning experience. Finally, the last reason was that it would allow me to spend a lot of time online creating a website and using social media.
So, this has been one of my most fulfilling projects because it has allowed me to do many things I enjoy doing all at the same time; cooking, creating and social media.
I hope you all enjoy the recipes! Start by checking out this delicious Caprese Salad recipe.
