Welcome to Daily Recipes Up

Where simple ingredients create extraordinary meals!

I'm Sofia Parker, a home cook and creator of Daily Recipes Up. I share my favorite simple, flavor-first recipes on this blog! When I'm not blogging I'm testing new recipes in my Austin kitchen with my husband Jake.

I started Daily Recipes Up to share meals that are easy to make, packed with flavor, and perfect for everyday life.

My husband Jake and I spend weekends trying new techniques, grilling outdoors, and obsessing over the perfect pan sauce.
