about M&M’s escapades

We are two cousins who have a strong passion for food. Mer lives in Syracuse, NY and Meg lives in Indianapolis, IN. We created this account out of our love for cooking, eating, traveling and supporting local in October 2019. Prior to COVID-19 hitting in March of 2020 Mer and Meg would share recipes, restaurants, and create bucket lists of new places to try together when they were going to see each other. When COVID hit, it became somewhat of a passion project turned into a realization of what we LOVE to do - create content! We love working with others, are very creative people, and find joy in creating a top quality product that exceeds satisfaction!

AKA MER, half of this cooking, baking, eating, restaurant loving duo. Food is at the center of my happiness - Cooking it, eating it, styling it! Sweet or savory, I'm not picky, it just has to be good!

Here are a few random facts about myself so you can get to know me

1. I’m a creative designer, thinker, and artist

2. Favorite Food: Mussels Marinara

3. I eat pretty much everything but I don’t like spicy food

4. Obsessed with sugar skulls, strong coffee, and anything tye-dyed

5. Anytime I travel someplace new I always research restaurants to try and create a list prior to going

6. I’m addicted to cheese and put it on everything

7. I’ve always been a positive person - I like to look on the bright side of life and see the good in everything

Fun Fact: I was never a picky eater! At the age of two I was ordering shrimp cocktails and strawberry daiquiri’s on any family vacation

HI, MY NAME IS

It all begins with an idea and love for food. I have loved food for as long as I can remember. My parent’s often reference how I would rock in my high chair so hard that it moved back & forth, while screaming in excitement as food was brought to the table. Pure Happiness. To this day, food still evokes these emotions and makes me dance, sing, even laugh with that same anticipation I had as a child! I grew up in the kitchen and now my kids are getting to roll up their sleeves and cook / bake alongside me, just like I did with my mama. The kitchen is the heart of our home and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I hope this blog inspires you, pushes you outside of your culinary comfort zone a little, and sparks joy & excitement to all the flavorful combinations we can make together. No matter what cooking level you’re currently at, that’s okay! We’re venturing through these food escapades together and out of everything, I’m just really, really glad your here! Welcome to our Escapades!
