About Amelia

I'm a home cook who appreciates clear instructions and strong flavor. I love meals that come together without stress, the kind that make you feel like you accomplished something without spending your whole evening cooking. I'm also the person who wants dinner to be satisfying, but still simple enough that you can make it again next week.

I'm based in Richmond, Virginia, where I'm always collecting ideas for easy dinners, weekend comfort food, and small kitchen habits that make everyday cooking feel smoother.

Why I Created This Website

Amelia Meals started the way many personal recipe collections do, with a few favorites that I kept coming back to. I'd try something, adjust it to match what I had on hand, simplify the steps, and write down the version that actually worked in my kitchen. Over time, those notes turned into recipes I could rely on.

Once I realized how helpful it was to have a set of dependable meals ready to go, I wanted to share that with you. The goal here is simple: less guesswork, more good food, and more nights where dinner feels like a win.

What Cooking Looks Like Here

My style is comforting, straightforward, and flexible. You'll find cozy dinners, easy sides, and simple sauces that can turn basic ingredients into something that feels special. I love recipes that can handle substitutions, because real life does not always come with a perfectly stocked fridge.

I also care about timing and flow. When a recipe is quick, it should truly be quick. When it takes a little longer, it should feel worth it, with steps that are easy to follow and results you can be proud of.

What You'll Find on Amelia Meals

• Weeknight dinners with simple, clear steps.
• Comfort food favorites that fit into a real schedule.
• Ingredients you can find at regular grocery stores.
• Notes on swaps, make-ahead prep, and storing leftovers when helpful.
• Recipes you will actually want to make again.

A Few Things I'm Known For

I keep a short list of go-to meals for the days when I'm tired and still want something good to eat. I love recipes that make the kitchen smell amazing, and I'm always happy when dinner comes with a manageable cleanup.

Leftovers are a big win around here, especially when they taste even better the next day. If a recipe can save tomorrow's lunch, it earns extra points.
