Welcome to Everyday Dana: A Fresh Start

Welcome to Everyday Dana!

Hey there! Welcome to Everyday Dana! I’m so glad you’re here to join me in my little space on the internet. I’m Dana—if you’re curious about more quirky details about me, make sure to check out my "About Me" page.

From YouTube to Blogging: A Fresh Start

This blog started as a sidekick to my YouTube channel, which used to be called "Fat Ladies Don't Diet." I created it to share recipes and a lifestyle focused on moderation, not dieting. But over time, my love for cooking really took over, so I decided it was time for a change. I wanted a name that truly reflects who I am and what I love, and Everyday Dana felt like the perfect fit. Plus, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t stepping on any toes!

Chatting Like Old Friends

I love to write, and I see it as just a casual chat with friends—both new and old. No need for formality here; I’m all about being my zany self. Sure, I have some home training, but I’m much more comfortable just being me.

Food Favorites and Culinary Adventures

When it comes to food, I’m all about exploring different cuisines. Indian food is a big favorite of mine, though I wouldn’t quite call myself a foodie just yet. My all-time favorite, though, is the down-home southern cooking I grew up with. It’s all about simple, comforting, and tasty dishes here, but you’ll definitely see a variety of food styles from time to time.

Crafting and Time Crunches

I’m also a big fan of crafts, especially sewing and trying out new techniques. But let’s be honest—there never seems to be enough time to do everything I want. If I could, I’d spend all day crafting! Even though time is tight, I always try to fit in a little creativity whenever I can.
