Ezra Bennett

Hey, I’m Ezra – a creative cook with a soft spot for comfort food and a passion for giving it a healthy, modern twist.

I grew up on slow-cooked stews, golden casseroles, and buttery biscuits—the kind of meals that wrap you in warmth. But as I started my own journey into cooking, I found myself reimagining those classics in a way that fits today’s pace and health goals—without losing any of that soul-satisfying goodness.

My style? Think cozy meets clean. I love using fresh ingredients, bold seasonings, and smart swaps to reinvent nostalgic dishes in a way that feels lighter but still hits every comfort note.

I first connected with Ashley through a mutual love of real food and real stories. Now, I’m proud to contribute to the iheartnapetime blog as one of the recipe creators. Ashley has built such a warm, welcoming space here, and I’m thrilled to be part of it—sharing meals that nourish, satisfy, and (hopefully) become part of your family’s favorites.

When I’m not cooking, you’ll find me exploring spice markets, sipping strong coffee, or tinkering with a new playlist to match the mood in the kitchen.

If you’re craving comfort but want to feel good about what you’re eating, I’ve got you. Let’s cook something amazing together.
