— My story

Hey there, I’m Maya! 👋

I’m the recipe-obsessed, dessert-loving home cook behind Maya’s Guide — and if you’ve ever stood in front of your fridge at 6 p.m. wondering “what on earth am I making for dinner tonight?”, you’re my kind of person.

Maya’s Guide started for one simple reason: I was tired of complicated recipes with a hundred ingredients and an hour of dishes. I wanted food that’s easy, cozy, and actually gets made — quick weeknight dinners, no-fuss desserts, and meal plans that take the guesswork out of the whole week.

So that’s what I share here. Real recipes for real, busy life. The kind you can pull off after a long day, the kind your family actually asks for again, and the kind that makes your kitchen smell amazing without making you lose your mind.

These days you’ll find me testing new dessert ideas, building out weekly meal plans, and creating printables and guides to make life at home a little simpler (and a lot prettier). Everything I make, I make so that you can make it too.
