Hi, I’m Raven!

I’m a Chicago-based recipe creator, wife, mom of four, and full-time City of Chicago employee with a passion for bringing people together through food.

My love for cooking started in the kitchen with my mother, who taught me that some of life’s best memories are made around the dinner table. Over the years, cooking became more than just preparing meals, it became my way of showing love, creating memories, and bringing family & friends together.

During the pandemic, I began sharing my recipes online as a creative outlet, never imagining that it would grow into the amazing community it is today. What started as a simple passion for food has evolved into Cravin With Raven, a place where I share easy-to-follow recipes, comfort food favorites, family meals, and dishes that anyone can recreate at home.

As a busy working mom, I understand the challenge of getting dinner on the table after a long day. That’s why my recipes focus on flavor, simplicity, and helping families create delicious meals without spending hours in the kitchen.

Whether you’re looking for a quick weeknight dinner, a comforting family favorite, or a recipe to impress your guests, I’m here to help.
