Food 🥧Glorius 🍵Food
If your goal is to have simple meals that can feed just one, or an entire clan; is easy on the budget & prep time – you have come to the right place!
Creating and using a meal plan is an absolute must! It takes the guess work out of knowing when to take things out of the freezer, when to use the crockpot (slow cooker) and if I should cook extra meals in advance for easy reheat.
If you are like me, leftovers are a certainty. I plan a leftover night once per week. It is a budget essential for my family.
Years of watching & learning ...
…and experimenting is where these recipes come from. Putting a twist on a recipe that HB & I found and tried or pieced together from several different meals we have tried at friends, at restaurants, etc. Supporting my daughter’s growing interest in cooking and baking is the driving force behind developing this page. She has been experimenting in the kitchen since it was safe to do so (as young as 2 years old with supervision!) Most of what you will see here are recipes that come with the assumption that the reader is not a novice in the kitchen. As we learn and grow, we will be updating the site with more and more Cooking 101 hints & tips and cater to the novice.
