Hi There!
I'm Megan, the cook and photographer behind Megan vs Kitchen. Here, you'll find a mix of quick and easy recipes, from Tex-Mex favorites to classic American dinners, all inspired by my Texas upbringing.
I started Megan vs Kitchen shortly after graduating college, when I was figuring out how to cook for myself. After plenty of failed recipes, I slowly got better in the kitchen and discovered how much I enjoyed cooking and sharing the recipes I made. I especially loved finding ways to make tasty meals without spending hours in the kitchen.
My goal with every recipe I share is to help you make dinners you'll actually look forward to without spending too much time or energy in the kitchen.
What You'll Find on Megan vs Kitchen
- Tex-Mex - Growing up in Texas, Tex-Mex was always a big part of the food around me. I love recreating and sharing the Tex-Mex dishes I grew up eating.
- Classic American Dinners - I also love recreating the classic dinners my mom made after a busy day at work. Think easy, thrown-together slow cooker meals, and cheesy pastas like Homemade Hamburger Helper and Italian Beef Sandwiches.
- Simple Ingredients - I cook with easy-to-find ingredients and offer substitutions whenever possible.
How I Develop and Test Recipes
I want my recipes to be easy to follow and work in a real home kitchen. I test every recipe at least three times, often more, before sharing it on Megan vs Kitchen. During testing, I pay attention to ingredient amounts, cooking times, and how clearly the instructions explain each step.
I also include step-by-step photos, helpful substitutions, troubleshooting tips, and videos to help you get the best results.
A Little More About Me
I live with my husband, Adrian, and our weekends usually involve coffee, a good book, and whatever show we're currently binge-watching.
