Meet Elena Vega

I'm Elena, and I am unapologetically passionate about food. When the pregnancy cravings hit me, they hit hard. One day it's spicy tacos, the next it's creamy mac and cheese. I realized that instead of fighting these cravings or buying processed fast food, I could make better versions at home.

My Culinary Philosophy

• Flavor First: Pregnancy dulls some senses and heightens others. I cook with bold flavors to satisfy that need.
• The 80/20 Rule: mostly nutritious, sometimes indulgent, always delicious.
• Comfort is Key: Food is emotional support, especially when your hormones are raging.

My Background & Expertise

I grew up in a family where love was shown through food. Now, as I prepare to become a mom, I'm channeling that heritage into recipes that comfort and sustain. I test my recipes on my toughest days to make sure they're easy enough to make when you're tired but delicious enough to make you smile.
