I developed this website in 2018 as a means to share our family recipes with my oldest son in college, in an effort to encourage him to cook his own meals. My oldest son doesn't use our site anymore, but the site remains a helpful way for me to share my favorite recipes with friends. I feel that being able to cook is empowering; I can't imagine being reliant daily on take-out or premade meals from the supermarket to feed myself and my husband. Very few of my recipes are complicated or time-consuming.
I'm not going to pretend that all of my recipes are healthy. Please keep in mind that for many years, I cooked for two teenage boys who, at times, had morning swim practice before school, then a full day of school, then back to swim practice and weight lifting for another three hours. Just think for a minute about how many calories a teenage boy burns on such a day.
I hope you will enjoy trying some of our family favorites. Because we live in a cool climate -- the Pacific Northwest -- you will likely notice that many of my recipes are warming foods like chili and soup. I like to share them for this reason: they are comforting and warming and satiating.
Happy cooking!
