Hello!
I’m Milena, a food and wellness blogger, photographer, and chocolate lover.
I am the recipe developer and photographer behind Crumbles of Health.
I love food!
Eating it, cooking it, learning about it, and photographing it. I created this blog to collect and share recipes I make and love.
When I am not in the kitchen, I love being outside, traveling, reading, and spending time with my family and friends. I am a happy wife and mama to a sweet little boy who keeps me on my feet with two dogs running (or sleeping) around.

Recipe development
I create my recipes with lots of love and attention to detail. Each recipe is tested multiple times for flavor, texture, ingredients, and technique before being published.
As a recipe developer, I believe measuring the ingredients in grams is the most accurate way to achieve the best result. I highly recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients.
Food Philosophy
Living in a pretty toxic world and trying to avoid all the harmful and unhealthy substances can be hard. This is why paying attention to what we put in our bodies is very important for our well-being. Unfortunately, just because we eat a salad every day is not enough anymore, we have to look beyond what’s on our plates. Most importantly, we have to ask, “Where did it come from and how was it raised/grown?
Using ingredients that are organic and free of pesticides, hormones, and chemicals is something everyone should care about, and look for. The food we eat makes us who we are – sick or healthy!
I believe balance is the key to healthy living. Eating too much of anything, whether a salad or a chocolate cake, can result in health problems. And while I am all about nourishing the body the best way possible, having the “not so healthy” food once in a while is OK!!
We are not perfect, and that’s okay! Balance is not just about what we eat, but how we live our lives. Stress, work, exercise, food, and the environment – they’re all connected!
I’ve never been a fan of restrictions and diets! Why? Because we are all different, one diet will never work the same for everyone. Do what works for YOU! Eat what makes you happy, while living a balanced life.
Photography
As an artist and creative soul, I wanted to find ways to incorporate my interest in food with my urge to create. Food photography became my passion and a way to express my creativity. There is something very special about capturing the beauty of food.
I wanted to learn everything I could about food photography, so I started taking online courses and eventually enrolled in a photography school, but most importantly, I practiced, practiced, practiced!
For me, photography is not just simply taking a shot, it is capturing a moment and telling a story through the lens. An image must evoke a feeling.
