Hello! I’m Emma Richardson

Newlywed and devoted owner of a mischievous bunny named Miso (she’s always sneaking into my pantry!). I’m based in Denver, CO, but originally hail from New Orleans, LA, where I fell in love with bold Creole and Cajun flavors. That upbringing taught me that great food is all about quality ingredients and a dash of creativity.

My Story

Cooking has always been my passion. From helping my grandmother stir gumbo as a kid to experimenting with plant-based twists on classic Southern dishes, I’ve spent years learning—and sometimes playfully failing—in the kitchen. After marrying my college sweetheart and adopting Miso, I realized busy life doesn’t have to mean boring meals. That’s how RideDish was born: a place for delicious, achievable recipes that fit any schedule.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Scratch-Made Classics: From fluffy buttermilk biscuits to rich étouffée, every recipe starts with real, whole ingredients—no boxed mixes or artificial shortcuts.
  • Everyday Efficiency: Whether you need a 5-minute breakfast smoothie or a 30-minute one-pan dinner, I’ve got you covered with clear, step-by-step instructions.
  • Flavor Adventures: Inspired by my Southern roots and global travels, I blend traditional tastes with modern twists—think barbecue-spiced tacos or lavender-honey glazed vegetables.
  • Nomad-Friendly Meals: Recipes designed for on-the-go life: packable lunches, energy-boosting snacks, and easy prep-ahead dishes.

My Promise

Every recipe here is rigorously tested in my own kitchen. I won’t share a dish until I’m truly obsessed with its flavor, texture, and simplicity. Expect vibrant colors, balanced seasonings, and that satisfying “wow” moment when you taste something extraordinary.
