Ivy Collins

Hi, I’m Ivy – recipe developer, flavor chaser, and proud member of the iheartnapetime family.

I’ve always believed that great food doesn’t have to be complicated. As someone who juggles work, family, and the beautiful chaos of everyday life, I know how precious your time in the kitchen is. That’s why I focus on creating simple, comforting, and delicious recipes that make weeknight cooking feel less like a chore and more like a joy.

My journey into recipe development started in my own tiny kitchen, testing out meals that were fast, filling, and full of flavor. I’ve learned a lot along the way—mostly by messing up and trying again! But that’s the fun of it, right?

A few years ago, I connected with Ashley, and what began as a shared love for down-to-earth cooking turned into something more. Now, I’m honored to contribute recipes to iheartnapetime, where we help busy families find joy in the everyday magic of home-cooked meals.

Whether it’s a skillet dinner after soccer practice or a cozy casserole for a quiet night in, I hope my recipes bring warmth, ease, and a little extra flavor to your table.

Let’s keep it simple. Let’s keep it delicious.
