Meet Kristyn & The Gang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My name is Kristyn Merkley, and I\u2019m married to my best friend Lo. We have six kids ages 6-16 who keep us busy, but we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mom\u2019s maiden name is Luna, and I\u2019m one of the many \u201cLil\u2019 Lunas\u201d in the fam who have inherited a love for food. Coming from a long line of cooks and bakers, it was inevitable that I would fall in love with the same hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lilluna.com was born right after my second child in early 2010. I started sharing all of our favorite Mexican recipes<\/a> I got from my mom, aunts and grandma as well as some of the traditional American recipes that came from my dad\u2019s family. Since then, we have created 2000+ recipes to share here on the site and across social platforms like Pinterest<\/a>, Facebook<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also had 4 additional children since the website launched, which means I had to focus on creating simple and quick recipes that were delicious. Easy and yummy recipes have become my specialty (so much so that I launched my first cookbook called “So Easy & So Yummy<\/a>“)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite thing in the world is to hear that something that I was able to share has helped someone else out, either with a great tip or a new favorite recipe. I hope you can find something here on the site that helps you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the world of us \u201cLuna\u201dtics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
