Meet Julia

Hi There,

I’m Julia, founder of julianneats.com and the Instagram page @julianneats1. I started my blog as a way to create a personal online recipe book and catalogue my favourite recipes.

I believe good food doesn’t need to be difficult or expensive to make. These days everyone’s lives seem to be busy, so the recipes you will find here are easy recipes, with accessible ingredients that I personally use. I also share tips and tricks regarding meal planning and budgeting, food storage and kitchen organisation that I use in daily life that I believe will help simplify your life too. My hope is for you to enjoy these recipes as much as I do!

Julia xxx
