10 Instagram Accounts We Are Loving For Recipes!

The stay-at-home order has changed our lives in many ways and one thing we’ve been doing a lot more of is cooking! These food accounts are keeping us inspired while we try to get creative with what’s left in the fridge.


The Barefoot Contessa (@inagarten)

We love Ina’s recipes always but are extra appreciating what she’s doing now on her account is perfect for our current at-home-status. She’s been specifically posting recipes with short ingredient lists and is focused on pantry staples. On our list to make are her PB Jelly Bars, Tuscan White Bean Soup, and Toasted Coconut Marshmallows!

Melissa Stadler (@modern_honey)

We’d follow Melissa for just her cookie photos alone. She has an excellent set of copycat recipes for the delicious cookies from Levain Bakery in NYC. The deliciousness goes beyond cookies though and even delves into savory realms too. Melissa spends lots of time perfecting her recipes and her commitment shows!

King Arthur Flour (@kingarthurflour)

King Arthur is a delicious product for all your carb-y needs. They really take baking to the next level and their Instagram feed and complimenting recipes link really stand out. We love that their pop over recipe does not require a special pan. And their Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza is at the top of our dinners-to-make list.

Food52 (@Food52)

Food52 curates an amazing assortment of community recipes and we are all about it. We also love to follow their stories for tips and tricks. We are looking forward to making these Banana Bread Scones and Miso Mac & Cheese.

New York Times (@nytcooking)

Here you will find classic dishes like Tomato Alphabet Soup and also the current trends like these Focaccia Gardens. We love that the recipes include simple commentary at the start that helps connect you to the dish without overwhelming you with the backstory.

Budget Bytes (@budgetbytes)

We love this wallet-friendly blogger – her recipes are simply delicious and affordable! Beth’s naan bread will take your next Indian night above and beyond for 22 cents a person. Each of her recipes has a recipe total and per serving total so you know how it will fit into your budget. 

Smitten Kitchen (@smittenkitchen)

Smitten Kitchen has it all — sweet baked goods, hearty breakfast dishes, savory main courses plus sides and even cocktails! We are currently set on trying the Rubuarb Cordial, Chocolate Dutch Baby, and Breakfast Pizza!

Pinch of Yum (@pinchofyum)

These photos are so gorgeous, we want to try it all just so we can take photos! The bowls that she puts together are just stunning — we are eyeing her Sesame Noodle Bowl, Coconut Curry Ramen, and Burst Tomato Zucchini Spaghetti with Avocado Sauce.  

I’d Rather Be Meryl (@idratherbemeryl)

I’d Rather Be Meryl has so many great recipes and food tips! Dylan and Karen would be our top picks for creating a cheese plate and mixing up cocktails for our next party.

Recipes I Tried And Liked (@recipesitriedandliked)

We love how Christina breaks down each recipe that she’s tried (and liked) step by step in her stories. She lets you know what she’s subbed in for ingredients she can’t find. It’s nice to see her put together dishes with what she has on hand.
