¡Hola! I'm Diego. As a new dad working full-time, I've mastered the art of fast, affordable meals that don't taste like shortcuts. My recipes prove you don't need hours or expensive ingredients to eat well. Let's get cooking!
About Me:
Meet Diego Morales
Two years ago, my life changed completely. My daughter Sofia was born, I started a new job as an HVAC technician, and suddenly I had about 30 minutes a day to get dinner on the table. Takeout wasn't sustainable (for our budget or our waistlines), so I had to figure out how to cook fast, cheap, and delicious.
I grew up in Phoenix, the youngest of four kids. My mom worked two jobs, so we learned early that good food doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Rice, beans, a little creativity, and dinner was served. Those lessons stuck with me, and now I'm passing them on to you.
My wife Maria and I live in a small apartment in Denver. We're proof that you don't need a fancy kitchen, expensive gadgets, or unlimited time to eat well. You just need smart recipes and a little planning.
My Cooking Philosophy
- Time Is Everything: If a recipe takes more than 30-40 minutes on a weeknight, it better be worth it. Most of mine aren't—they're fast by design.
- Budget Matters: I track grocery costs carefully. You'll never see me call for truffle oil or saffron. We're keeping it real and affordable here.
- Flavor Shortcuts: I love finding ways to get maximum flavor with minimum effort—think canned chipotles, jarred salsa verde, and pre-made spice blends.
What You'll Find From Me
I focus on quick weeknight meals that feed a family without breaking the bank. You'll see lots of one-pot dishes, sheet pan dinners, and recipes that stretch ingredients across multiple meals. I also share my Mexican-American family favorites—tacos, enchiladas, and the rice and beans that powered my childhood.
When I'm not cooking or chasing after Sofia, I'm watching soccer, fixing things around the apartment, or dreaming about the day we have a backyard for a real grill.
