ABOUT ME
About Me : Hi, I’m Lindsay – welcome to Pinch of Yum, my cozy little spot on the internet!
I’m the writer, recipe developer, and creative mind behind Pinch of Yum. What began as a fun side project back in 2010—when I was still teaching fourth grade—has grown into a thriving online destination for millions of food lovers each month. Over the years, my work has been featured on major platforms like The Kitchn, CNN, Refinery29, Brit + Co, POPSUGAR, Huffington Post, The Everymom, PureWow, and many more.
These days, I live in Saint Paul, Minnesota with my husband, Bjork, and our sweet pup, Sage. A few of my favorite things? A big, saucy plate of Pad Thai, sun-soaked afternoons, and long walks at the dog park.
Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here!
I Love Food!
Here at Pinch of Yum, I’m all about sharing fresh, flavorful, and (mostly) healthy recipes that I genuinely love and make in my real, everyday life. If it’s not something I’d eat myself, you won’t find it here.
My goal? To inspire you with dishes that are both approachable and exciting—whether you’re cooking for yourself, your family, roommates, or friends. I want these recipes to spark so much joy that you’ll actually look forward to 5pm, just so you can head home and start cooking.
And hey—one of the best parts of this journey is you! I absolutely LOVE seeing what you’re cooking. Tag @aiolirecipe on Instagram when you make one of our recipes, and you just might get featured in our Friday Reader Awards on Instagram Stories. Your creativity seriously makes my day!
