About Nicole Diaz
If you’re new, then it’s nice to meet you. If you’ve been stopping by for awhile, well then, welcome back!
Our History
I’m Nicole Diaz, the woman behind the scenes here at Free Dish Recipes. I’m the voice you read, the cook behind the meals, the one developing the recipes, and the photographer capturing every bite. The only job I happily share is taste-testing—and that’s split between me, my husband, and our two girls!
My promise to you: I’ll always share recipes that I truly love. Some are inspired by a craving to bake something sweet, others come from those everyday “what’s for dinner?” moments, and yes, sometimes I’ll share sponsored recipes from brands I genuinely enjoy. No matter the reason behind a recipe, if it’s here on the blog, it’s because I believe it’s worth making—and sharing with you.
Currently
As a mom of two girls, I know firsthand how busy life can get—between work, school, sports, and everything in between, getting a homemade meal on the table isn’t always easy. That’s why I started Free Dish Recipes: to share simple, family-friendly meals that are both quick to make and full of flavor.
From slow cooker favorites and easy weeknight dinners to fun treats the kids will love and crowd-pleasing appetizers, you’ll find recipes here that fit right into your everyday routine. Whether you’re cooking for picky eaters or putting together something special for a family gathering, there’s something here for everyone.
I hope our site adds value to your day and that you find recipes here that will become favorites for you and your family for years to come.
MY GOAL
My goal has always been to share my love of food with you. I truly believe that cooking at home doesn’t have to be complicated—and that everyone deserves to enjoy delicious, comforting meals every day.
Going out to eat can be fun, but there’s something so special about gathering around the table at home. I encourage you to make family dinners a regular part of your life. It’s not just about the food—it’s about the memories you create, the laughs you share, and the traditions you build along the way.
As the big sign in my dining room says: Meals and Memories are made HERE. And I hope the recipes you find here help you make plenty of your own.
