Recipe Developer & SEO Writer | Wellness Creator | Food Storyteller | Age 29
San José–based recipe enthusiast who believes protein-packed meals can be both simple and deeply satisfying.
My Story
Food has always been my language of creativity. Growing up in San José, my kitchen was a mix of cultural flavors, quick family meals, and the occasional experiment gone wrong. Yet as I got older, I noticed how many “healthy” meals felt either bland, restrictive, or overly complicated.
At 29, I wanted something different — food that would nourish me, keep my energy steady during long workdays, and still feel like something to celebrate. That’s how I found my love for high protein recipes. Cooking with this focus gave me both physical energy and creative joy, and it opened the door to helping others discover the same balance.
The Turning Point
One late night, while writing content for a client in the wellness space, I realized I was running on caffeine and granola bars. It hit me: I was pouring words into wellness blogs but not living the kind of balanced lifestyle I was writing about.
The next day, I set myself a challenge — to create a week’s worth of meals that were rich in protein but didn’t take forever to make. That week completely changed my relationship with food. My energy levels stabilized, my focus sharpened, and I felt the spark of creativity return. That moment planted the seed for what would later become my work at SimplyTaster.com.
What I Learned the Hard Way
At first, I tried every trending diet and every quick “protein fix” I could find. Some recipes turned out chalky, others tasted nothing like their indulgent counterparts, and a few just went straight into the trash.
I also underestimated how much conflicting nutrition information is out there. Sorting through it all was frustrating — but it taught me the value of simplicity, evidence-based choices, and staying consistent rather than chasing extremes.
My Approach Now
Today, my approach is about creating recipes that fuel your body and feel like comfort food. Every dish I share is tested with both taste and practicality in mind. I combine my background in recipe development with SEO writing to make sure these ideas reach the people who need them most.
On SimplyTaster.com, you’ll find recipes that fit real lives — whether you’re a busy professional needing grab-and-go breakfasts, or someone who just wants their brownies to come with a side of protein.
What I Believe
- Protein-rich food is the backbone of sustained energy.
- Healthy eating should never feel like punishment.
- Simple recipes are the ones you’ll actually make again and again.
- Food is both nourishment and joy.
- Sharing knowledge is just as important as sharing flavor.

A Little More About Me
Outside of recipe testing, I’m a book lover with a soft spot for contemporary fiction, a coffee enthusiast (flat white is my go-to), and someone who finds balance in early morning yoga. San José’s vibrant food scene inspires me constantly, and I love wandering local markets for fresh produce and new ideas.
I also enjoy photography, so styling and capturing each recipe has become one of my favorite creative outlets.
