My mission is to inspire home cooks of all levels with accessible and delicious recipes, turning everyday ingredients into standout dishes. I hold the belief that cooking shouldn’t be complicated. Through my step-by-step guides, vibrant photography, and expert tips, I strive to deliver dependable recipes that consistently work, all while using everyday ingredients.
About The Founder: Chelsea
Chelsea’s Messy Apron started in 2013 out of my love for food and cooking, with a simple goal: to share delicious, tried-and-true recipes with everyone. I love experimenting in the kitchen, and tweaking ingredients until I get a recipe just right.
My food philosophy? I’m all about balance when it comes to food. While I love enjoying desserts and good old comfort foods, I’m just as into dishes that keep things nutritious and healthy.
I was born and raised in Utah and still live there now with my husband and three kids. I received my undergraduate degree (B.S.) in Exercise & Wellness from Brigham Young University, with a focus on nutrition, personal training, and exercise physiology. When I’m not in the kitchen (which is rare!), you’ll find me curled up reading a good book, going on a walk, or watching my kid’s sports games.
I also love to travel, and honestly my favorite part of going to new places is immersing myself in the local food. I learn so much about incorporating different flavors together and I love trying new dishes I’ve never tried before. I try to take a cooking class wherever I travel!
About The Recipes
I’m very serious about my new recipe development. It’s all about trial and error until I nail the perfect dish. Believe it or not, some recipes have taken years of testing before they made it on my site. My goal? To give you delicious recipes you can easily re-create in your own kitchen.
And hey, if you’ve got questions, I’m always available to answer questions in the comments!
