Welcome
Hi, I’m Erica
Welcome to Erica’s Recipes! I’m Erica, the food nerd behind this little corner of the internet. I’m a scientist by day, but food has always been my love language, and through this blog, I get to share my 580+ recipes with you.
I started Erica’s Recipes in 2005, so I have had this blog long enough that it has taken me through healthy times, spurgy times, vegan times, sad times, happy times, and loads of other “times”. I truly hope you will find a great mix of dishes here to suit your times too.
There are a couple foods that I am especially obsessed with, just FYI: crepes, macaroni and cheese, and, above all, pizza. I love fusion recipes, and these foodstuffs in particular let me have the most fun. Definitely check them out.

Where this all began`
I grew up in New England, spent my twenties in Texas (where I learned to cook), and I now live in Florida with my family. These influences are why my food flavors are an eclectic mix of old and new, north and south.
I am a PhD scientist as my career. I’m also an Army veteran, an Ironman triathlon finisher, and an avid backpacker (despite living in Florida). I also love to paint and recently started learning to play acoustic guitar. I love setting big scary goals and then going through the journey to get there.
Speaking of scary, I also love to cook for a LOT of people. Check out my second blog, Cooking for an Army for quantity recipes to feed lots of people.
