Hey there! I’m Emma Monroe, 27, born and raised in Austin, Texas. I didn’t grow up cooking I grew up watching people cook on TikTok and YouTube, completely mesmerized. One day I thought, “Why not me?” I started experimenting, burning more things than I care to admit, but I was hooked. Now, I craft crave-worthy recipes that balance comfort with excitement gooey, spicy, crispy goodness that speaks to food lovers everywhere. I want home cooks to feel like they’re just one try away from their next obsession. Sharing my wins (and fails) online is part of the journey. If you love food that makes your eyes widen and your heart race, we’re already friends.

How It All Started
Like many of you, I didn’t grow up cooking—I grew up watching others cook, totally captivated. One day I swapped scrolling for stirring, and while my first attempts were… let’s call them memorable, the magic of creating something from scratch had me hooked. Every flop was just a step toward my next favorite recipe.
Now, I share that journey here: the hits, the happy accidents, and the “okay, maybe next time” moments. MealsToMake is all about recipes you want to make again and again dishes that spark curiosity, comfort, and connection.
