About Me

Hi, I’m Meghan—mom of two young girls and the voice behind Electric Mommy, a family-focused blog sharing easy, flavorful recipes and real-life parenting content.

Every recipe I share is one I’ve made and enjoyed with my own family, using fresh, simple ingredients that work for busy households. I also recommend crafts, kid activities, and parenting tips based on real-life experiences with my two daughters—ideas we’ve tried, loved, and actually use. Nothing here is filler or AI-generated; it’s all been tested in the real world by a real mom.

Whether it’s easy, nutritious recipes that even picky eaters will love, screen-free activities to keep little hands busy, or self-care strategies to help moms recharge, I hope to provide content that resonates with fellow moms navigating the same daily challenges.

How I Learned to Write Recipes

For the past ten years, I’ve learned SO much about food and nutrition, while constantly learning and experimenting in the kitchen. This journey began not just out of a curiosity for cooking, but also as a passion to feed my family healthy, nutritious meals. After becoming a mom is when I really started to change my cooking habits.

In the early days of learning how to cook, clear instructions were incredibly important to me, which is why all of mine contain the same. Once my confidence built up and I learned what I did and didn’t like, I went from reading recipes to creating my own based around what me and my family like. Now, it’s my mission to bring my favorite ones to you!

A Note About My Recipes

My recipes are a genuine reflection of what my family of four truly eats. Everything on this blog has been tried and tested by us. I have one very picky child, another child and my husband who will eat almost anything, and then there’s myself – somewhere in the middle. I’ve always been slightly sensitive to certain flavors and textures, which is why I love creating my own recipes.

I love to cook with pasta, lean meats and lots of fresh vegetables. I try to incorporate fresh veggies whenever possible to boost nutritional value. However, I understand that everyone has different tastes, so feel free to leave out any ingredients you or your family don’t like.

One more note about my recipes: Be sure to check the serving size on each one. I tend to cook larger portions because I enjoy having leftovers for the next day – it gives me a break in the kitchen! If you’re only cooking for one or two, you can easily halve the recipes.

Mexican Inspired Recipes

My husband and his family are from Oaxaca, Mexico. Over the fifteen years that we’ve been together, we’ve traveled to Oaxaca and many other parts of Mexico numerous times. My mother-in-law, who also loves to cook, has introduced me to so many of my favorites today.

My recipes are a combination of what I’ve learned from her and the culinary experiences I’ve enjoyed during our travels throughout Mexico. I hope these recipes inspire you to bring the taste of Mexican cuisine into your own kitchen.
