About Olivia Marino
🍋 Welcome to My Kitchen—Where Health Meets Heritage
Hi, I’m Olivia Marino, a 29-year-old school assistant living in Nashville, Tennessee—and the hands and heart behind Golden Era Recipes. If you’re anything like me, you’re juggling a lot: work, family, self-care… and still trying to eat something that didn’t come out of a box.

This is my little corner of the internet where simple, soulful recipes meet real-life health—inspired by family, flavored with tradition, and made for busy mornings.
🌿 How It Started: My Grandma Dalida’s Kitchen
My food story didn’t begin in culinary school. It began in my grandmother Dalida’s cozy kitchen, where healing drinks simmered on the stove and everything tasted like love. She had this quiet magic—an intuitive way of making you feel better with just a spoonful of something warm and homemade.
At 18, I asked her to teach me. That’s when it all changed. What started as curiosity became a deep passion—and a promise: “To carry her legacy forward—one smoothie, one bowl, one recipe card at a time.”
🥣 What You’ll Find Here
- Weight Loss Smoothies that actually fill you up
- Breakfast Bowls that make you glow
- Detox Drinks that reset your day
I use ingredients like ginger, turmeric, oats, lemon, cinnamon, berries, and Greek yogurt—not because they’re trendy, but because they work. And they taste like home.
💛 My Philosophy
I believe healthy can still taste like home. Balance doesn’t come from extremes—it’s built through small, intentional choices made daily.
I’ve been there too: scrolling endless “quick” recipes that take forever… feeling guilty for skipping meals… sipping smoothies that taste like lawn clippings. That’s why I keep things simple, supportive, and soulful.
Every recipe I share is tested in my kitchen, with grandma’s golden recipe cards beside me. “Make it with heart, and it will heal.” – Grandma Dalida
