ABOUT ME

Hi, and welcome to my little corner of the web! My name is Malinda, and I am a wife, mother, food blogger, and food photographer. I live in eastern Colorado with my family on our little hobby farm. I love bringing my family together at the dinner table with a homemade meal. But don’t let that fool you—plenty of times we have eaten cereal for dinner!

I grew up cooking with my mom and grandma and loved every minute of it!! I married my high school sweetheart in 2006, graduated from college with a degree in Elementary Education, but decided to be a stay-at-home mom, and I’ve never regretted one minute of it!

THE BLOG

Countryside Cravings Food Blog

I started Countryside Cravings in 2013 because I wanted a place to keep track of my kitchen creations (I had an overflowing cookbook collection and couldn’t keep track of what I made, lol!). That quickly evolved into what it is today! A place for all of you to come find my simple and approachable recipes.

I aim to help families put home-cooked meals on the table using simple everyday ingredients. Cooking doesn’t need to be hard and doesn’t need to sacrifice flavor. My recipes are delicious and focus on realistic eating. Rest assured, my recipes are tested by my large family and husband, so you know they’re family-approved!

I have written, photographed, and published hundreds of recipes, ranging from savory to sweet. Some of my family’s all-time favorites are Homemade Hamburger Helper and Fudge Banana Cake. My recipes have been featured on Buzzfeed, Country Living, Relish Magazine, Pioneer Woman, Parade, Tasty, the Huffington Post, and more.
