Welcome to Modern Bites, a food blog dedicated to bold & approachable recipes inspired by today’s most popular flavors, restaurants, and food trends!

My Experience

At Modern Bites, you’ll find recipes that are all tested in my kitchen, hand-written, and designed to work for busy home cooks. I specialize in recreating restaurant-style dishes and trending foods using accessible ingredients and simple techniques… so you can enjoy the flavors you love while dining in.

I’ve personally developed over 1,000 recipes of my own across my 3 websites, including Modern Bites. I’ve also had the pleasure of testing recipes in other cookbooks to ensure repeatable results every time.

I am also the author of two amazing cookbooks. Low Sodium Dinners was my first book where I personally developed and photographed over 100 recipes for a low salt and salt free lifestyle. My seasonal cookbook One Ingredient Five Ways showcases how you can use any seasonal produce you have on hand in creative ways with bold flavors.

Hand-Tested Recipes

Every recipe on Modern Bites is developed from scratch, tested multiple times, and written with both flavor and ease in mind. I test each recipe for flavor, ingredient accessibility, cooking time, texture, and repeatability before I publish. From weeknight dinners and appetizers to snacks, side dishes, desserts, and copycat favorites, my goal is to help you cook food that feels comforting & worth making again.

If you love modern recipes, crave-worthy comfort food, and reliable copycat dishes that taste like the real thing (or better), you’re in the right place.

Thanks for stopping by Modern Bites, I’m glad you’re here!

More Recipe Publications

In addition to the recipe work I do for Modern Bites, I also am the founder of LowSoRecipes a website focused on low salt and low sodium cooking.

I also run TheHerbeevore.com a plant-based food blog with vegan and vegetarian recipes. I started this site back in 2018 and have enjoyed creating new and fresh recipes ever since.

Nutrition Coaching

In addition to creating all the recipes on this site, I just recently obtained my Nutrition Coaching certification! As of February 2026, I am an ISSA-certified Nutrition Coach. I’m excited to bring more food and nutrition information that I learned in my courses to my kitchen and daily life.

I am currently doing coursework to become a personal trainer as well! So here, you’ll find many great recipes that are high protein, macro-friendly, and easy to meal prep!
