POV: You’re walking with central vision only.

I’m legally blind, and this is what the world looks like through my eyes.

πŸ‘£ Watch β€˜til the end --> then tell me, did this change how you think about vision loss?

Feeding your family without breaking the bank (or your spirit)? It’s not just you, it’s tough out there!

I’m Mary Mammoliti, a self-taught home cook, recipe developer, and disability advocate who’s been creating food content for TV and media for 7+ years β€” while also losing my sight.

Even for me, cooking on a budget can feel like solving a mystery.

That’s why I’m launching a new series packed with easy, budget-friendly meals you’ll actually want to eat: simple ingredients, quick recipes, zero stress.

If you’re tired of overthinking dinner, you’re exactly where you need to be!

There’s something special about closing a chapter like this.

Dish with Mary was honoured for two consecutive years with a Best of Canada Special Achievement Award at the 17th Annual Taste Awards, and I’m still taking it all in.

To the Taste Awards and the Academy of Media Tastemakers, thank you for recognizing a show that was built on one simple belief… that food connects us, and everyone deserves a seat at the table.

This series would not have existed without the incredible people who believed in it, supported it, and brought it to life. To our team, AMI, and every person behind the scenes, this recognition belongs to you as much as it does to me.

And to everyone who watched, cooked along, shared, and showed up for us… thank you. You made this journey what it was.

Grateful for what Dish with Mary was, and excited for what’s still to come.

I didn’t expect this… but I’m very glad it happened

A neighbourhood spot you need to try!

@xobisous is doing a BBQ collab with @barquebbq and it’s the kind of meal you cancel plans for.

Messy, saucy, shareable… just how I like it 😁

The garlic cornbread? Dangerous
The ribs are sticky, messy, in the best way
Brisket? Juicy, tender… exactly what you want
And the mac and cheese… will disappear in seconds!

These are the kind of cookies you make β€œjust for a taste”
and suddenly you’re 12 in deep wondering what happened.

They’re tiny.
They’re cute.
They are absolutely not innocent.

If you need an easy, no-fuss bake that disappears faster than it cools… this is it.

➑️ Comment "CUTE" and I’ll send you the recipe

(yes, I’m serious… I want to see how many you actually stop at)

…either way, you’re making these πŸͺ
mini cookies, chocolate chip cookies, easy baking, cozy kitchen, from scratch recipes

I asked 5 Chefs and Food Lovers what they really want for Valentine’s Day and spoiler alert… it’s not roses.

We’re talking Poutine with Brunello, not your usual Spicy Vodka Pasta, Bisto Gravy and Nostalgic Roast Dinners, Mediterranean Nibble Boards, and excitedly Unusual Ingredients that make Chefs Light Up in the kitchen.

If your love language is food, you’re going to want to save this one.

Swipe through to see what they chose, then head to marymammoliti.com for the full feature with stories and shop links.

Save this for later and tell me in the comments, are you team pasta, poutine, roast dinner, or ingredients that make you go hmmm πŸ€” ?
