Hi there,

I’m Marie, a French-Canadian mom of two amazing kids and an avid traveller. I travelled the globe before settling in Barcelona, Spain, with my German husband, whom I met while backpacking in Central America in 2006. As much as we love our international life and multicultural circle of friends, raising a young family away from our family networks can be incredibly challenging.

I’ve always loved food and cooking. I sharpened my culinary skills at Hofmann’s Culinary School in Barcelona and worldwide by taking cooking classes and observing the locals. In 2016, I started a food blog called “The FoodOlic Recipes,” which is about healthy and creative food for adults.

Since becoming a mom, one of the biggest challenges has been cooking meals everyone enjoys, while ensuring they’re nourishing for a growing family. Somewhere along the way, I stopped creating for my other food blog and fell into survival mode, cycling through the same handful of recipes. And I quickly realized I wasn’t alone—most of my friends were feeling the same: stuck in a rut, low on time, and craving fresh inspiration.

That’s when I decided to start this new family food blog. I began gathering ideas from friends with different cultural backgrounds, testing recipes in our kitchen, and letting my kids become little sous chefs and taste-testers. Over time, I built a collection of fun, healthy, and easy family meals to share on Little Nomads. I love adding a unique twist or a cultural touch to each recipe—it’s a simple way to spark curiosity and open up new tastes and traditions for our kids.

On the Little Nomads Recipes blog, you’ll find organized sections to fit your family’s needs—whether you’re looking for lactose-free, gluten-free, vegetarian, low refined sugar, or nut-free options. There’s also a special “For Minis” section with ideas for baby-led weaning, plus a big collection of air fryer recipes. Honestly, the air fryer is the only kitchen gadget I swear by—it makes meals quicker, crispier, and way lower in fat.

I’d love your feedback on whether you try any of the recipes! Each includes ingredients in Imperial and Metric measurements, a nutritional breakdown, and—most of the time—a video to walk you through the steps. I know firsthand how helpful that can be… Mama brain is real, and a quick visual can save the day!

Let’s make those bellies full, happy and most of all healthy!
