- Stephanie has been developing recipes as hobby for over 20 years, and professionally for the last four years. She previously started and ran a food subscription box and meal planning business, both targeted at helping busy families eat home-cooked food more often.
- When Stephanie became a mom with a full-time career, her colleagues asked how she could keep up with cooking for her family so much. She then realized that meal planning was a challenge for many families and started developing and sharing recipes for families.
- Stephanie honed her recipe-development and photography skills as the owner of a family-focused meal planning business.
