Hi, I’m Aria Wells 👋

Welcome to Top Meal Ideas your cozy corner for discovering delicious, easy-to-make meals that fit into real life.
My love for cooking began in a tiny apartment kitchen during my college years. With a limited budget and almost no cooking experience, I started experimenting with simple ingredients, determined to make meals that felt like home. I’d call my mom for tips, scribble notes from cooking shows, and fail more times than I can count but every dish taught me something new.

After college, I worked a full-time job and juggled the usual hustle of daily life. But food remained my creative escape. I’d come home late, throw together whatever I had in the fridge, and somehow end up with comforting dishes that surprised even me. Friends and coworkers started asking for recipes, and slowly the idea formed: what if I shared these meals online?

That’s how Top Meal Ideas was born — from messy countertops, late-night cooking sessions, and a passion for food that’s flavorful, practical, and fun. I wanted to create a space where anyone, no matter their skill level or schedule, could find recipes that work and actually taste great.

Here, you’ll find a mix of family favorites, viral hits (the good kind), and simple go-to meals that make everyday cooking feel less like a chore. I test every recipe myself, with a focus on clarity and flavor, because I know what it’s like to be short on time but still crave something real and satisfying.

Thanks so much for visiting — I hope Top Meal Ideas becomes your go-to spot when you’re hungry for something new. 🥘
Save your faves, cook with confidence, and remember: the best meals are made with love (and a little mess)!

— Aria 💛
