ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Emily Smith though most people call me Emily Smith, and I’m so happy you’re here on YuminMinutes!
This blog is my kitchen notebook, my creative escape, and my heartfelt attempt to bring quick, comforting, and family-friendly recipes into your home. If you’re a busy parent, a curious cook, or someone who just wants a good meal fast you’re in the right place.

Where It All Began
My love for cooking sparked in my childhood kitchen, where every meal was a little moment of magic. I grew up surrounded by the scent of garlic sizzling in olive oil, warm bread from the oven, and laughter at the dinner table. Those memories became the roots of my passion.
I started Yum in Minutes with one goal: to make real, delicious meals easy and fast, especially for busy families like mine. Whether it’s a weeknight dinner, a last-minute snack, or a quick treat for the kids there’s always a way to cook something beautiful in just minutes.
What You’ll Find Here
I share recipes that are:
- Quick and doable (even with a baby on your hip!)
- Full of wholesome, accessible ingredients
- Inspired by tradition but made for real life
- Kid-approved, family-loved, and time-saving
Every recipe on this site is tested in my home kitchen, with messy hands, loud toddlers, and not nearly enough counter space just like yours.
Why Trust My Recipes?
With over 12 years of hands-on experience creating and simplifying recipes, I’ve learned that food doesn’t have to be fancy to be fantastic. I focus on keeping things fun, flexible, and full of flavor. My joy comes from helping other parents discover that cooking can be both manageable and magical.

Beyond the Kitchen
When I’m not whipping up something savory or sweet, you’ll find me chasing after my kids, sipping strong coffee, or planning our next road trip. I’m always dreaming up fast recipes for real life, and I’m so excited to share them with you.
Thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet I hope my recipes bring joy, ease, and a little “yum” to your minutes at home.
With love,
Emily Smith
