Hey there — I’m Olivia “Liv” Carter, founder, recipe crafter, and storyteller behind Crying Into The Onions. I live somewhere in the heartland of the United States, where seasons change boldly, the smell of onions sizzling in a pan is a love language, and the kitchen is my favorite place to get messy and find magic.
I started this blog to share more than just recipes — I wanted to capture the emotions, memories, and quirks that make food more than fuel. Because sometimes, cooking makes you laugh. Sometimes, it makes you cry (into the onions, naturally). And most of all, it brings people together.
