Making delicious food for your family is no easy task when you’re a busy mom of five, and no one knows this better than Melissa Griffiths. She’s the mastermind behind the food blog Bless This Mess, and her story will inspire you to roll up your sleeves and get cooking!
Griffiths grew up in Indiana, but she’s now based in Utah, where she built her dream farmhouse alongside her husband. She describes herself as a hobby farmer who enjoys growing her own plants – which she later uses in her delicious recipes.
Griffiths was always very good at planning meals and preparing food for parties, and she started her blog because she wanted to share recipes with her loved ones after moving away from home.
“When I’d go somewhere like a church function or have friends over for dinner, people would often ask for the recipe to a certain dish. I knew an easy way to share information, a blog! So I told them I’d post it on my blog and they could find it there,” she wrote on her blog.
Griffiths started Bless This Mess in 2009, with a recipe for her famous caramel dip for apples – and the rest is history! Her blog is now her main source of income, and her no. 1 priority is to share quick, easy, and healthy family recipes with the world.
