I know how busy life can get and how hard it can be to get a healthy dinner on the table. I believe in creating fresh and delicious meals that use minimal ingredients in a way that will be appealing to even the pickiest of eaters. Join me for simple yet satisfying recipes!

There’s a good chance you’re here because: 

  • Today’s lifestyle leaves you feeling busy and exhausted and often too tired to make dinner. 
  • Eating out is expensive and is often the less healthy choice.
  • Finding wholesome yet simple recipes that you can trust is a chore.

I strive to create recipes that use wholesome but minimal ingredients along with easy preparation so that you can get dinner on the table quickly. My goal is to create a recipe database on this site that you can come to any night to get dinner inspiration and to create well-tested recipes that you can trust to work every time.

What you’ll find here:

  • simple, no fuss recipes that use minimal (but mostly whole food) ingredients
  • easy to follow cooking tutorials
  • simplified cooking techniques using your favorite kitchen gadgets including the air fryer, pressure cooker, grill and dutch oven

A little about me…..

  • I’ve been cooking and testing recipes since I was a teenager (ask my mom about the messes!)
  • In 2013 I turned my love for simplifying recipes into my first blog at Slow Cooker Gourmet
  • I recently decided to expand sharing more than just my slow cooker recipes by creating this site where I share shortcuts and recipes using all of my other favorite kitchen appliances
  • My goal is to utilize the tools we have available to create shortcuts in the kitchen that will help us get a wholesome meal on the table without all of the stress
  • I’m a self taught food photographer and website creator who loves to help others have more time or knowledge to do what they love most
  • I believe that sharing delicious food brings families and friends closer together and should be and enjoyable part of life!
