Hi there! I’m Anna, and welcome to Dinner Time With Anna. I’m happily married and have a sweet little kid who’s just 4 years old. Our life is a blend of giggles and messy playtimes!
My little one loves making “”pizza faces”” with toppings, and we often end up with more cheese on the floor than the pizza! It’s always an adventure when the chef’s hat comes out.
Cooking is my little escape, and I have a soft spot for trying out new recipes, especially when my hubby brings home surprise ingredients. We end up laughing at how creative—or chaotic—our dinners can be.
Family means everything to me. Every meal feels special when shared with loved ones. Their smiles make every moment in the kitchen worth it and keep my heart brimming with happiness!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
It all began with my little one giggling and saying, “Mommy, this is the best pizza ever!” Every time we’d cook together, my family would tell me how they loved our culinary adventures, so they encouraged me to share our fun meals with everyone by starting a blog.
I was excited but also a bit clueless. Where do I even start with blogging? I had so many doubts about putting my recipes out there, and I wasn’t sure if anyone would care to see our cheese-on-the-floor creations. It seemed a bit daunting.
Thankfully, my loving husband stepped in and said, “Anna, your recipes are amazing! Just go for it!” With his encouragement, I felt brave enough to dive into the blogging world. His belief in me was what nudged me forward to take this exciting new step.
At first, I struggled with posting regularly and snapping decent food photos. It was tricky finding the balance between cooking, family time, and learning the ropes of blogging. But I took it day by day, figuring things out as I went along.
Once I discovered Pinterest, I knew it was the right place to share my recipes. It’s full of food lovers just like me, ready to try and enjoy new dishes. Pinterest has made it simple to share my culinary creations with those who truly appreciate them.
Despite the hurdles, I’ve kept at it. The support from my family and the joy of sharing our meals have driven me. It’s been a wonderful journey, and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with so many fellow food enthusiasts along the way!
My Daily Routine, Recipe Choices, and Food Photography
My day starts with some fun and giggles as I get my little one ready. I always carve out time for cooking, usually planning meals in the morning based on what we’re in the mood for. It’s like a daily cooking adventure!
When choosing recipes, I think about what my family loves to eat, especially easy and tasty dishes. I also enjoy experimenting with seasonal ingredients to keep our meals fresh and exciting, just like a little surprise every time!
Preparing recipes for our meals is a joy. I pay attention to all the little details, making sure everything tastes great and looks appealing. It’s so rewarding when a dish comes out just perfect for us to enjoy together!
Food photography is a blast! I love using natural light to make our meals shine. I play around with angles to capture the deliciousness of the food, making each photo feel like a little piece of art. It’s a fun challenge that I look forward to!
