I'm a food photographer, cook, and recipe developer and have been creating the blog/Instagram/TikTok/Substack Me & The Moose for about 7 years. After living there for 15 years, I moved with my husband and two sons, ages 3 and 8 from NYC to Hartford, CT a few years ago. My main focus is on food that your whole family will (hopefully) eat because no one wants to cook three dinners every night! BUT, my blog is aimed at parents who don't want their whole identity to be "parents." I love cooking, but I especially love a shortcut. I definitely feed my kids store-bought or prepared meals a few nights a week because even though I love cooking and do it for a living, everyone needs a break! I try to take a positive, realistic approach to feeding yourself and your family. I'll suggest healthy swaps, but never shame you for your choices.
