Welcome to the Adventures of MJ and Hungryman!

And since 2017, we’ve welcomed our gentle, sensitive son and a firecracker daughter into our lives, and I enjoy feeding their hearty appetites (for the most part).
I have been blogging since 2012 to share my passion for cooking and nutrition. My style of cooking has evolved a lot over the years, especially after becoming a mom.
Making EASY and FAST recipes with simple ingredients that are easily accessible is how I roll these days. It’s the only way I can maintain my sanity. I’m here to inspire and teach fellow moms and dads that cooking wholesome, delicious food that you AND your baby/toddler will enjoy doesn’t have to be complicated.
I’ve crowned myself the queen of one pot cooking (because extra dishes are my worst enemy), and master developer of veggie-loaded snacks and meals that even the pickiest eater will be tempted to give a lick.
I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Emory University and a Masters in Nutrition from Texas State University.
While I may have extensive knowledge and training in the area of nutrition, I’m also a very tired, exceedingly blessed mama who’s trying to figure out this whole motherhood thing.
One thing is certain - All parents need a tribe, and I hope this space will be a welcoming place for all of us to band together to raise up a generation of joyous, mindful eaters!

I'm so glad you are here, and I truly truly hope you’ll enjoy all the recipes and tips that I share on what and how to feed your child!
