My Story

Blair Recipes started in the heart of rural Kentucky, where I spent my childhood summers at my grandmother Meemaw Lou’s farmhouse. Her kitchen was the soul of our family—a place where flour-dusted counters, the smell of buttermilk biscuits in the oven, and the sound of cast iron sizzling on the stove created the soundtrack to my happiest memories.

Meemaw Lou taught me that good food wasn’t about fancy ingredients or complicated techniques—it was about understanding your ingredients, respecting traditional methods, and never being afraid to make a dish your own. She’d let me stand on a wooden stool beside her, measuring flour with coffee cups and learning that a pinch of this and a dash of that could transform simple ingredients into something magical.

After college, I moved to Nashville to work in food marketing, but I found myself constantly recreating Meemaw Lou’s recipes for friends and coworkers. What started as bringing homemade treats to the office quickly evolved into weekend cooking parties where I’d teach others the comfort food classics I’d grown up with. By 2019, people kept asking me to start a food blog—and honestly, I couldn’t resist the idea of sharing these time-tested family recipes with a wider community.

Blair Recipes became my love letter to home cooking—a place where traditional techniques meet modern kitchens, and where every recipe tells a story about the people and places that shaped our relationship with food.
