Hi there! I’m Priya, and you’re visiting Spice And Bloom. I’m married and have three amazing kids aged 4, 7, and 10. They’re a lively bunch who keep our home exciting and filled with surprises!
Every weekend, we whip up pancake breakfasts together. The kids love adding colorful sprinkles, and sometimes we end up with rainbow pancakes! It’s messy but so much fun, and it always starts the day with giggles.
When I’m not cooking, I enjoy dancing around the house. The kids join in, and we end up having spontaneous dance parties. It’s a simple joy that fills our home with laughs and happy memories.
My family means everything to me. The love we share keeps my heart full and my days bright. Through all the spice and laughter, they make life beautiful and complete!
How I Got the Idea to Start My Blog
The idea for my blog, Spice And Bloom, came from my little ones. They always enjoyed our colorful pancake breakfasts and urged, “Mom, why not share your fun recipes with everyone?” Their excitement lit a spark in me to start sharing.
But let me tell you, the thought of starting a blog was daunting. I wasn’t sure where to start or how to put my creations out there. It felt like a big adventure, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to take it on just yet.
Thankfully, my husband stepped in with a big smile and said, “You love cooking and sharing your recipes, just give it a shot!” His belief in me gave me the push I needed to begin this creative journey. His support was my biggest motivation.
One of the biggest challenges I faced was learning to be consistent with posting and figuring out how to take appealing photos of our meals. It was tricky at first, juggling everything, but with practice, I started getting the hang of it!
Pinterest felt like the perfect spot for sharing my recipes. It’s a wonderful platform for connecting with food lovers and easily sharing my creations. I knew it was where people who appreciate a good recipe would find joy in my posts.
Despite the challenges, my family’s love and support kept me going. I grew to love learning and creating through this blogging journey. It’s been wonderful so far, and I’m ever grateful I followed that little spark of inspiration from my kids!
My Routine, Recipe Selection, and Photography
My daily routine is a bit of a juggling act, but I always find time to cook. In the mornings, I plan meals that my kids will love, sometimes picking recipes based on what’s fresh or seasonal. It’s like a little adventure each day!
When I choose recipes to share, I look for family favorites or new ideas that are easy and fun. I love using seasonal ingredients and experimenting with flavors to keep mealtime exciting for everyone in our home.
Preparing recipes for the blog is a joy for me. I take my time to ensure each dish tastes great and looks appealing. I want every recipe to be something my family enjoys, and I do my best to make everything special!
Food photography is a fun challenge I really enjoy. I use natural light to make the colors pop, and I love trying different angles to capture the food in the best way. It’s all about showing how delicious the meals really are!
