Hi, I’m Taya Bennett, and I’m so glad you’re here!
My love for cooking started way before I had kids, way before the busy schedules and the “what’s for dinner?” scramble. Back when I was just a little girl, I was already drawn to the magic of the kitchen. Whether it was helping my mom stir pots, sprinkle spices, or create simple meals for the family, I felt that cooking was more than just preparing food – it was about bringing people together.
I still remember how proud I felt when my parents gifted me my first handheld mixer. It wasn’t just a tool for making creams or batter, it was a symbol of their encouragement and my growing passion for creating happiness through food.
And oh, how I loved to make everyone smile! I’d cook and bake for my family, creating special birthday cakes or sharing simple meals that brought joy and warmth to the table. That’s when I realized: I had the ability to bring happiness into people’s hearts through cooking.
As life got busier with work, family, and endless responsibilities, I held onto that feeling – the belief that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be special. It can still be joyful, simple, and full of love, just like it was when I first stood on tiptoes in the kitchen.
That’s why I created YumEasyMeals.com – to bring back that sense of comfort and simplicity in everyday cooking, especially for busy people like us.
I’m a mom, a recipe tinkerer, and someone who’s been there:
- Tired after a long day
- Staring into the fridge with zero ideas
- Wondering if cereal counts as dinner
But here’s the truth: cooking doesn’t have to be fancy or stressful to be really, really good. It just needs to be easy, doable, and made with a little bit of heart – like those moments when I shared meals with my family and saw their faces light up with happiness.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve cooked a thousand meals, you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes here, the kind that feel like a warm hug at the end of a long day.
So welcome to my kitchen. Let’s cook something delicious, and make mealtime feel good again.
Made with love, shared with joy.
