About Me
Hi there! I’m Mira, the creator of Nexus Recipes. I’m a 40-year-old home baker originally from the heart of Texas, now living in New York City with my daughter Lila—my little kitchen helper and favorite taste tester.
Baking has always been more than a hobby for me—it’s how I express love, how I connect with people, and how I slow down in a fast-paced world. In my kitchen, I’ve learned that food doesn’t need to be fancy or fussy to be meaningful. Sometimes, all it takes is a few ingredients, a warm mug, and a good memory. That’s the magic I try to share with you through every recipe on this blog.
I believe that everyone deserves a moment of comfort, no matter how busy life gets. Whether you’re a beginner learning to whisk for the first time or a parent trying to make dessert after a long day, you’ll find something here that’s made just for you.
Why I Started Nexus Recipes
I created Nexus Recipes because, to me, food is connection. The word “nexus” means a link or central point, and that’s exactly what this blog represents: a place where past and present meet. It brings together the memories I have of baking with my mom as a child and the joy I now experience baking with my daughter. Every recipe I share is a bridge between generations, flavored with love and simplicity.
My Love for Simple Recipes
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been drawn to the kitchen. I’d sneak in to experiment—sometimes I’d make something amazing, other times… well, our dog got a surprise treat! My mom was my biggest inspiration. She showed me that great food doesn’t need to be complicated to be meaningful. That stayed with me.
As life got busier, especially after becoming a mom, I realized I didn’t always have time for elaborate recipes. But I still wanted that homemade, comforting feeling. That’s when I started crafting recipes that were quick, simple, and full of heart. Lila would be right there beside me, stirring, tasting, laughing—and just like that, something delicious and joyful was born in our kitchen.

More Than Just Recipes
At Nexus Recipes, I share more than just food. I share the stories behind each dish, tips I’ve learned the hard way, memories from my childhood, and the funny moments I have with Lila today. Not every recipe is perfect—but every one of them comes from the heart.
If you’re looking for real, joyful, stress-free cooking, I’d love to welcome you into my kitchen. Let’s create something sweet and simple—together.
