About Joy

I have been married to my husband Robbie for 10 years and together we have three beautifully wild boys who keep us on our toes!

My boys are a big inspiration for me to create recipes with extra fruits and veggies in them that actually taste delicious. I know how hard it can be to get your kids to eat a well rounded diet!

The inspiration for me starting my blog was that, well, I just LOVE to eat. But I don’t love to feel bad afterwards. That’s why you can find a healthy mix of lightened up recipes as well as classic comfort foods on my site. It’s all about a balanced life!

I have been a vegetarian for over a decade, but I love creating recipes that are for everyone to enjoy. On Build Your Bite you can find recipes that will appeal to everyone. You can everything from family favorite classic recipes to specialty diets like vegan, gluten free, and more.

Every year millions of people visit Build Your Bite to find new recipes to try!

You can find everything from classic appetizers to dessert recipes, holiday favorites, meatless meals, protein snack recipes and more!

I love hearing feedback when you make my recipes! Whether it’s leaving a comment on the post or tagging me on instagram @buildyourbite and #buildyourbite, I would love to hear from you!
