About Me - Lemons Life and Love

Hi, I’m Linda, and welcome to Lemons Life Love. I’m so glad you found your way here. If you’re anything like me, food isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s about memories, connection, and the small moments of joy that happen around he table. This blog is for you for sure.

I live in Florida with my husband and our two wonderful kids, who keep life busy, joyful, and a little unpredictable (in the best way). Between school drop-offs, and the daily whirlwind of parenting, my kitchen has become both my safe haven and my creative playground.

I’m not a classically trained chef. I’m not trying to win awards for the fanciest soufflé or the most complicated dinner party menu. I’m a real mom, in a real kitchen, making real food for the people I love. And honestly? That’s more than enough.

My Love Story with Food

As I grew up, I realized that food was more than just nourishment. It was how my family showed love. A pot of soup meant care. A homemade cake meant celebration. A shared meal meant connection. That spirit of food-as-love is what I carry with me every time I step into the kitchen.

Why I Cook (and Why I Blog)

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t always love the chaos of cooking. Some nights I just want something quick, simple, and satisfying so I can sit with my kids and hear about their day. Other times, I want to lose myself in the process.

But what I always love is what happens after the food hits the table. The laughter. The stories. The “just one more bite” moments. That’s why I started Lemons Life Love.

What Lemons Life Love Means

To be honest, nothing spicial:

Lemons: A reminder to take what life gives you and turn it into something delicious.
Life: Because food is part of our daily rhythm. It’s the background music to our mornings, afternoons, and evenings.
Love: The secret ingredient in everything I make. Love for my family, love for friends, and love for anyone who sits down at my table.

My Kitchen Style

My cooking style is simple: flavorful food that doesn’t make you break a sweat. You won’t find 50-step recipes here. What you will find are meals that work for real families, real schedules, and real appetites.

I love quick weeknight dinners, refreshing drinks, and clever kitchen hacks. I’m all about Because life (and food) should never be about perfection. It should be about joy.

Life Beyond Recipes

When I’m not cooking or blogging, you can usually find me:

Exploring local farmers’ markets and soaking in Florida sunshine.
Reading (cookbooks, yes, but also novels and anything that sparks inspiration).

What You’ll Find Here

On Lemons Life Love, you can expect:

Family-Friendly Recipes: Meals that kids and adults alike will actually eat (and enjoy).
Quick & Easy Ideas: Because life is too short to spend hours stressing over dinner.
Sweet Treats: For birthdays, celebrations, or just because it’s Tuesday.
Seasonal Inspiration: Recipes that reflect the time of year and celebrate what’s fresh.

A Little More About Me

Since we’re getting to know each other, here are a few fun facts:

My favorite comfort food is mac and cheese, creamy, cheesy, and always made with love.
I believe guacamole should count as a food group.
I can’t cook without music on. My playlists range from old-school classics to whatever makes my kids laugh and dance.
I secretly dream of writing a cookbook one day. (Okay, not so secret anymore)
My favorite dessert changes daily, but brownies almost always win.

An Invitation to My Table

At the end of the day, this blog isn’t just about me. It’s about us, a community of people who believe in the power of simple, homemade food to bring people together. My hope is that you feel inspired here, not intimidated.

So grab a seat at the table, pour yourself a drink (lemonade, coffee, or maybe even a cocktail), and let’s cook, laugh, and make memories together.
