About Me

The Story Behind SpoonOfLina.com

Let’s be real—I wasn’t always the homemade-meal type either. I was that girl who’d grab a chocolate croissant on the run, relied way too much on microwave dinners, and called cereal “dinner” more times than I’d like to admit. But somewhere between feeling constantly off and realizing takeout wasn’t exactly nourishing my soul (or my wallet), I knew something had to shift.

It all began on a random Sunday. A friend handed me a glass of avocado–pineapple smoothie (yes, I paused too), and to my shock… it didn’t just taste good—it made me feel good. That moment planted a little spark. What if food could be simple, joyful, and actually make me feel better instead of worse?

That spark turned into curiosity, and curiosity turned into late-night experiments. I started mixing, baking, blending, failing (a lot), and slowly discovering what flavors light me up. From golden turmeric oats to my now go-to veggie lasagna, every recipe came with its own story—and I found myself falling in love with food in a whole new way.

That’s what Spoon of Lina is all about—a cozy space where nourishing meets delicious, and comfort food gets a fresh, colorful twist. You won’t find perfection here—just real, feel-good recipes that make sense for real people living real lives.

Here’s what you’ll find in my kitchen:

✨ Wholesome breakfasts that feel like a hug but don’t take all morning
✨ Snacks that keep you going when coffee isn’t enough
✨ Dinners that look fancy but come together in 30 minutes
✨ Sweet treats that don’t need a sugar crash to be satisfying
✨ Cozy twists on classics (because comfort food is sacred)
✨ Seasonal flavors that make ordinary days feel special

If you’ve ever wanted your kitchen to feel like a warm, happy place—even when the dishes pile up—you’re exactly where you need to be. 🍽️

I’m Lina—a self-taught, food-loving soul with a soft spot for cozy meals, mismatched plates, and playing music while I cook. I talk to my ingredients like they’re old friends (don’t judge), and yes, I’ve definitely dropped a jar of peanut butter mid-recipe. It’s part of the magic.

SpoonOfLina.com isn’t about perfect plating or complicated techniques. It’s about connection, comfort, and sharing recipes that bring a little spark to your everyday routine. Think of it like cooking with a good friend—music on, aprons optional, and snacks always welcome.

If you’re here for easy recipes, cozy flavors, and a little joy in every bite—welcome. Grab a spoon and let’s make something beautiful together.

Thank You ❤️

Before you go, I just want to take a moment to say… thank you. Truly.

Whether you’ve tried one of my recipes, shared it with a friend, left a kind word, or simply browsed while sipping your tea—you’ve made a difference.

When I started SpoonOfLina.com, it was just me, a notebook full of messy ideas, and a kitchen that smelled like cinnamon and “let’s hope this works.” I wasn’t sure if anyone would care about my cozy twists on comfort food or my endless obsession with roasted veggies. But here you are—and that means more than words can say.

Your support—your messages, shares, smiles, and quiet encouragement—have brought this little space to life. You’ve helped me stay inspired, keep experimenting, and show up, even on the days when the soup boiled over or my camera caught more crumbs than cookies.

So, thank you for being here. For believing in this tiny kitchen corner and for helping me fill it with warmth, flavor, and a whole lot of heart.

With all my love and deepest gratitude,
Lina
