WELCOME TO BusyRecipe
Hi, I’m Emma Blake the heart and hands behind BusyRecipe.

I’m Emma Blake, a mom of two, a former marketing executive turned full-time food blogger, and someone who has always believed that great meals and drinks don’t have to take hours to prepare.
My passion for cooking began in my grandmother’s kitchen, where I learned how simple ingredients could create something magical. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve refined that passion into practical skills — mastering 30-minute dinners, crafting quick drinks, and developing shortcuts that save time without compromising flavor.
After juggling a demanding career and family meals, I realized the need for a space that caters to busy people like you and me — and BusyRecipe.com was born.

A Personal Story
I’ll never forget cooking a full dinner in 20 minutes while helping my daughter with homework and taking a client call. That meal — my One-Pot Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta — reminded me that food should fit into life, not complicate it. It’s now one of the most loved recipes on this blog, and I’d love for you to try it.
