About Me

BeautyfromBurntToast is a place where food is meant to be fun. It’s not meant to be perfect. It’s not meant to be complicated. It’s meant to be beautiful.

Just like life. 

I’m Meaghan, the heart behind this little place. I started BurntToast in the fall of 2017 with my eye on creating a place where the food is real, the conversation is from the heart and everyone is welcome. Since then, BurntToast has grown into something I never would have imagined with an amazing community of people who support each other, pray for each other and love a good meal (and a good laugh).

BurntToast was born from my desire to share and mingle two of my passions–cooking and people–in a place where life can be celebrated and love, faith and grace can be explored openly and honestly.

I’m not a classically trained chef. I’m a home cook who loves to create and explore in the kitchen and who believes that cooking a meal for the people around you is one of the greatest expressions of love you can give. I believe that uncomplicated, simple food is the best food and that anyone (yes, ANYONE) can be a great home cook if they try.

I’m also not a trained writer, but I am a wife, mother, and woman of God who believes that the way we learn and grow is by sharing. Sharing our thoughts and sharing our dreams. When we do this we learn that we are all more alike than we are different.

So come on in. Stick around for a while. Whether you love to cook or hate it. Whether you want to share your dreams or don’t. Here you’re welcome. I hope that you can learn, love, and cook right alongside us each day.

In addition to running BurntToast, I also am the Manager of Editorial Development at The Grit and Grace Project, an online magazine and podcast for strong women and those who want to be. And I am the Food and Restaurant Writer for Lifestyle Frisco magazine where I also host the online cooking series, Kitchen Conversations.
