What's cooking this week
Quick, nourishing, and made for real life—not Instagram perfection.
"I cried into a bowl of plain rice at 10 weeks pregnant because I was too nauseous to cook anything else. That moment is why HomeBumpMeals exists. You deserve better—and I promise, it can be easier than you think."— Maya Hart, founder & mom of two
The Person Behind the Posts
Hi, I'm Maya Hart.
I'm a mom of two, a former marketing professional, and the founder of HomeBumpMeals. After a surprise gestational diabetes diagnosis at 28 weeks, I turned my tiny apartment kitchen into a test lab for easy, prenatal-friendly meals that actually taste good. I've completed a certification in prenatal & postpartum nutrition and work with a Registered Dietitian who reviews every recipe.
