Hey there! I’m Juli and welcome to Inspired Thyme®. I truly believe that moderation is key, variety is the spice of life, and there is always something to celebrate. I enjoy sharing a wide array of recipes from super healthy to super indulgent. There is always an option to fit the mood!

My love of being in the kitchen goes back further than I can remember. I was told that as a toddler before I could even walk, I would pull my mother’s pots and pans out of the cabinet to play with them on the kitchen floor. Time has gone by and today I still pull out pots and pans to play in the kitchen. I just have to wash them myself now!

I was fortunate to a have southern family full of talented cooks and I took advantage of that to learn everything I could from them. Experiencing the advice, tips, and tricks from so many amazing cooks gave me appreciation for everyone’s different tastes and preferences when it comes to food. I love that there are endless possibilities! As my life has changed over the years, cooking has been the one constant that never fails to bring me joy.

I enjoy taking classic recipes and giving them a unique twist. I have done this so much that I have been accused of not making the same recipe twice. I have been known to substitute about any ingredient to avoid going to the grocery store even though it is only a few minutes away. I love to travel far-off and locally exploring out-of-the-way places. Especially if they have wine. You never know what gems you will find, especially in your own backyard.

Thank you for being here! There’s lots of fun to be had so stay in the know with my newsletter. Get recipes, travel tips, and life hacks delivered to your inbox.
