Hi, I’m Maya — the heart and hands behind Yums Meals!

As a passionate home chef, food lover, and busy mom, I created Yums Meals to share my love for healthy, wholesome food with families just like yours. I know firsthand how hectic life can get — between work, family, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when it comes to mealtime. That’s exactly why I started this blog: to make your life a little easier and a lot more delicious.

Yums Meals is your go-to source for quick, step-by-step recipes and creative ideas that bring joy back to everyday cooking. My mission is simple — to provide meals that are fast, nourishing, and full of flavor, without compromising your health or taste. Whether you’re a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned cook looking for fresh inspiration, you’re in the right place.

I focus on meals that are ready in 30 minutes or less, designed specifically for busy moms and food lovers who want to eat well without spending hours in the kitchen. From vibrant salads to hearty one-pan dinners, each recipe is crafted with love and intention — always with balance and simplicity in mind.

My cooking style? Effortless, family-friendly, and fun! I believe good food doesn’t need to be complicated to be amazing. That’s why every recipe on Yums Meals is broken down into clear, visual steps, so you can follow along easily and confidently. I also love to share tips and kitchen hacks to help you save time while still making meals that wow.
