Bold, Flavorful Recipes Inspired by Family, Texas, and Real Life
Hi! I’m Michele Feuerborn—home cook, recipe developer, food photographer, and creator of Flavor Mosaic.
I’ve been cooking for over 25 years, ever since marrying my husband Dave and realizing one of us had to figure out how to get dinner on the table… or we’d go broke eating out!
Flavor Mosaic began in 2013 as a way to preserve family recipes after my mom passed away. She was the last of her generation, and I didn’t want all those holiday dishes and handwritten index cards to be lost with her. What started as a small family project has grown into a go-to site for bold, easy, budget-friendly meals made with real-life ingredients.
From AllRecipes Allstar to Full-Time Food Blogger
Like many home cooks, I learned through trial and error—and a lot of recipe swapping online. I dove into cooking forums, watched video tutorials, and traded tips with fellow home cooks in online communities. I even became an AllRecipes Allstar before launching my own blog.
Since then, I’ve focused on developing recipes that reflect the bold, comforting flavors of South Texas and beyond. Living in San Antonio has deeply influenced my style, and you’ll find those flavors in everything from Tex-Mex casseroles to smoky BBQ to Southern skillet meals.
Why “Flavor Mosaic”?
My mom was a mosaic artist. She could take broken, colorful pieces of tile and transform them into beautiful, meaningful art. I may not have inherited her paintbrush, but I found my creativity in the kitchen.
I like to think of my recipes as mosaics made from food—pulling together ingredients that are vibrant, sometimes unexpected, and always flavorful.

Whether you’re planning a holiday meal or need something fast for dinner tonight, you’ll find a little of everything here—always built on big, bold flavor.

I love mixing cuisines and flavor profiles—whether it’s a Tex-Mex pasta salad, a Southern-Asian mashup, or a bold twist on a comfort food classic.
