Meet Kasey Schwartz

Kasey Schwartz has spent more than 17 years helping busy families get dependable meals, desserts, and holiday favorites on the table.

She started All Things Mamma in 2009 as a place to share the recipes her own family loved. What began as a small personal blog has grown into a trusted recipe resource visited by hundreds of thousands of home cooks each month.

Kasey is best known for approachable comfort food and recipes that work in real life: easy dips, casseroles, breakfasts, poke cakes, dump cakes, no-bake desserts, slow cooker meals, and holiday favorites.

Her recipes are developed and tested in her own family kitchen. She focuses on familiar ingredients, clear instructions, and practical tips that help home cooks feel confident—whether they have been cooking for years or are just getting started.

Before becoming a full-time food creator and entrepreneur, Kasey served as the Executive Director of a Chamber of Commerce. That experience gave her a strong foundation in small-business development, marketing, community building, and entrepreneurship.

Today, she combines her experience in food, media, digital publishing, and small business to connect with audiences both online and in person.
