Hello! Thanks for checking in. My name is Cristie and I truly enjoy cooking.
It began as an attempt to gather all my recipes into one location. No longer would I have to rummage through index cards, sticky notes, etc., or search my phone for a picture of a recipe I saved. It was around 2020 when I finally decided to do this. And within a few short years, others were using these same recipes as well. And now, here we are.
All recipes found on this website were tested (and retested) by myself in my home kitchen. My family members have been wonderful test subjects throughout the years.
What You Will Find Here
The bottom line is: recipes that work. This includes family favorites, dishes I have come across while traveling, and quick dinner ideas that don't take long. The ways in which I prepare the recipes is how I typically make them, including realistic time requirements and common ingredients available at most grocery stores. Also, if there is a suitable substitute for an ingredient I will include that information.
My Cooking Style
As a non professional chef and unphotographed kitchen - I simply love cooking for people. To me, cooking should be enjoyable and a little bit messy. And, to me, some of the best meals are those shared with others. I'm sure I've ruined many foods and added too much salt but I learn from each experience.
