Hi There, I'm Marley—Welcome To My Menu!
My Background
I live in Southern Coastal Georgia with my husband Rob, our baby boy Charlie, and our sweet pup Lolo. And together, we eat… A LOT!
Growing up, homecooked was all I knew. With a long lineage of caterers and restaurateurs on both sides of my family, I’ve always been taught that cooking is more than just about food.
It’s about passing recipes down from generation to generation, spending time with your loved ones in the kitchen, and exploring new flavors and techniques to learn about different cultures together.
Marley’s Menu was born out of my enthusiasm for home cooking and a desire to share my love for food with others.
It’s also my platform to prove that getting food on the table quickly and effortlessly does not mean you have to compromise on taste.
My Food Philosophy
When life gets busy, cooking and planning meals can often be a stressor. But what if you found a collection of recipes that made gourmet-level meals easy and efficient?
Oh, and I haven’t forgotten about cleanup! If it can be made in one pot or one bowl, it will be!
My mom always said, “the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach”, and I wholeheartedly believe that sharing food traditions, delicious flavors, and pouring love into cooking is absolutely a love language.
Keeping things fast and simple means that when life gets busy, we don’t have to give up this expression of love for takeout or microwaveable meals. You can still enjoy the process and the end product!
Recipe Development Process
Every published recipe has been thoroughly tested. Things I ask myself while creating new recipes are:
- Can I easily add any more flavor?
- Can it be made with less ingredients?
- Can it be made in fewer steps?
- Can it be made in one pot, pan or bowl?
- Can it be made quicker?
- Is there a simple method or singular ingredient I can add to boost the flavor without further complicating the recipe?
A recipe is not complete in my eyes until all of the answers to the above questions are “no”!

Let's Connect
Marley’s Menu was created as a passion project to connect with others over a shared love of food.
So, on top of easy, efficient, and elevated recipes, I also love to share personal stories from time to time!
I want nothing more than to be a resource for you! Plus, I would love to hear about your food traditions, favorite kitchen hacks, and best dishes.
