Welcome to our family’s recipe blog, where I’m officially documenting all of our favorite meals—because my kids are out in the world cooking now (sometimes for themselves, sometimes for others they love), and I need to know they're not surviving on ramen and hot Cheetos alone. Though, let’s be honest, ramen holds a special place in all our hearts.
It hit me recently that food is more than just something we shove in our mouths when we're starving (though I’m not here to judge if that’s your current vibe). Eating together has been one of the ways our family has stayed connected through all of life’s ups and downs—like biblical times, but with fewer loaves and fishes and more pizza and casseroles. In the Bible, meals were sacred moments where people sat down, broke bread, and talked—just like us, minus the cell phones and random debates about Marvel movies.
So, as my kids cook for themselves (and others—look at them all grown up!), I wanted a place to gather up all our family’s favorite recipes. Think of this as the official "How to Feed Yourself" guide, with a side of laughter and a sprinkle of “Mom’s tips,” aka “Here’s how you really use the microwave without setting it on fire.”
This blog will be packed with recipes that are fast, cheap, and delicious because let’s be real—none of us have time for those five-hour soufflé situations. But even more than that, these recipes are filled with love. Each dish tells a story, whether it’s that casserole we’ve made for every holiday since time began or that taco recipe that may have single-handedly kept the peace in our home during teenage tantrums.
And here’s the thing about meals—they're not just about food. It’s about connection. The laughter at the table, the chaos of everyone reaching for the last roll, the “Hey, this actually tastes good!” moments when my kids surprise themselves. There's something deeply sacred about that, something that takes me back to those biblical scenes where meals were a time to gather, talk, and just be together. I can’t help but believe that in those moments of sharing food, we’re also sharing a piece of our hearts.
So here we go—grab a fork, a sense of humor, and maybe a fire extinguisher (just in case), because we’re about to dive into the recipes that have kept our family fed, full, and full of laughter for years. And hey, if you burn the toast, don’t worry. We’ve all been there.
Bon appétit and blessings!
