Hi! I’m Ginna.

I started Chompions in 2023 because I wanted to eat a little healthier, but I didn’t really know where to start. ChatGPT was still pretty new at the time, so I started using it to come up with recipes based on ingredients I already had or knew I liked. It was mostly a fun little experiment and a reason to get myself cooking more.

The more I cooked, the more I started figuring things out on my own. I got better at putting flavors together, experimenting with ingredients, and coming up with meals without needing a recipe to start from. Eventually, I started photographing what I made and sharing the recipes I really enjoyed with friends and family.

Chompions has become a place for me to keep all of that. It’s mostly food, but you’ll also find neighborhood finds, posts about Olive, bits of life, and the occasional thought I wanted to get out of my head and onto paper.

I still do this mostly for myself. I like cooking, taking photos, writing things down, and having a place to collect it all. If something I share gives someone a dinner idea, helps them try something new, or is useful in some small way, that’s a pretty great added perk.
