It all started with an iPhone 3. After graduating college in 2015, I was eating my way through Philadelphia while trying to figure out what I wanted to do post-college. One of my favorite hobbies was trying new restaurants and then recommending them to my friends and family. I was obsessed with finding the coolest dishes at the coolest places, so Food by the Gram was initially born as a Philly-centric recommendation blog, full of my (iPhone 3) food photos.
Then it all changed.
After eating out upward of 6 times a week (yes, seriously), I felt burnt out, stuffed, and really missed cooking. I grew up cooking and baking, and loved experimenting with different flavors, but it never occurred to me that others might be interested in my recipes too. So, in 2019, I took the plunge and shifted my focus to recipe creation. I spent hours covered in everything from Greek Yogurt to powdered sugar trying to perfect old recipes and create new ones. From there, I found what I really loved: creating healthier recipes that are still delicious, indulgent, and fun. However; I’m all about balance, and have a serious sweet tooth, so you’ll also find some majorly indulgent dessert recipes for when you have a special occasion (or just really want cake).


I believe that you really can have your cake and eat it too.
