Hi! I am Melissa Rayne!
Melissa Rayne, a 38-year-old mom of three who believes that the best memories are made around the dinner table. Cooking has always been my way of showing love—whether it’s a quick one-pan dinner on a busy school night or a homemade dessert that makes the whole house smell like comfort.
My goal is to offer straightforward, simple-to-follow recipes that are wholesome and taste good.
A little bit more about me
I created recipesfamil.com as a cozy corner to share the meals my family loves—recipes passed down, reinvented, or whipped up amid beautiful chaos. Everything from easy weeknight dishes to nostalgic comfort food is tested in my kitchen (with plenty of little hands helping!).
I’m not a chef—just a mom who cooks with heart. If you’re looking for real food, stories, and connections, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the family.
Food photography
I also developed a love for food photography along the way and learned how to make regular meals appear as nice as they taste.
All of the food images you see on the website are mine.
If you are interested in working with me, you can send me an email at [email protected].
