I’m on a mission to provide you and your family with guaranteed to impress recipes for dinner, dessert, snacks, potluck dishes, late night bites, occasional treats for your dogs waiting patiently under the table, and everything in between — from quick and easy to low and slow. I’ve taken every cooking class possible, read hundreds of cookbooks at least twice, and taught myself as I cooked daily for over four decades. Learning from professional chefs has made me well-suited to cook for a living. Creating recipes you can rely on.
As a published cookbook author and someone who feeds a large family, I take tons of pride in personally testing and perfecting every dish on my page — especially as unreliable AI-generated recipes are becoming all too common in the online culinary world.
In other words: planning, shopping and cooking is a lot of work. So you deserve recipes that work! And you’ll find over 1,100 of them, all right here.
Since 2009 my team and I have been helping families make the best use of their time in the kitchen and around the table, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. So if you’re looking for something in particular, or just feel like chatting about food, let us know in the comment section beneath the recipes or via email. I’m always happy to hear from you!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find just the right recipe. Just remember to loosen your belt between servings! Let’s make gathering around the dinner table with family and friends FUN again.
I’d love for you to check out a few of my favorite recipes:
- White Chicken Enchiladas: Enchiladas stuffed with chicken and cheese then topped with a luscious, velvety cream sauce.
- American Goulash: The original one-pot meal. This is my family’s recipe. We’ve been enjoying this for 4 generations, so you know it’s a great recipe!
- Apple Chicken: I love this simple dish. Sweet, savory, my perfect weeknight meal!
- Italian Sunday Gravy: At the risk of sounding immodest, this is simply the best gravy I’ve ever had. Please read some of our readers’ comments so you know it’s not just me!
- Chicken Pasta Salad: Can’t tell you how much I love this salad.
- Ground Beef and Potatoes: One of my favorite quick dinners. Love the light gravy that coats everything! All made in one pan!
- Ambrosia Salad: I serve this classic salad all year! So delicious and always a crowd pleaser.
- Berry Chantilly Cake: Honestly, this recipe is better than a bakery cake! It takes a bit of time, but it’s worth every second of effort!
- Fruit Cocktail Cake: This old-fashioned cake is utterly delicious. It looks rather like a plain Jane, but don’t be fooled! This is a must-make!
- Cowboy Stew: Oh, it’s so delicious and loaded with so many goodies.
I’m so grateful to all of you for your support and dedication!
Happy Cooking + Baking,
Kathleen
