My name is Lara and while I'm definitely not a gourmet cook, I do love preparing tasty, healthy meals for my family. Finding new recipes to try and sharing the ones we've already fallen in love with is a passion I've had since college and the reason why I've started this blog! With five kids, I'm usually in a hurry, so you'll find most of these recipes kid friendly and simple to make.

Hello there. I'm Jen and I love cooking and experimenting with recipes. I can thank my mother for my love of cooking and creating. I often need to be creative to get my three boys to eat well. (It is not unusual to see me sneaking veggies into their meals) While I am not a professional cook at all, I admit that I have clocked many, many hours watching the Food Network. (That's got to count for some sort of cooking certificate or something right?) I am a big fan of this blog and have used it many times. I currently live in Paris (although I met Lara and her family while in DC before we moved here) and I'm looking forward to sharing some tried and true recipes with you...perhaps some with a little French twist.

Talented and creative, Karey's recipes are sure to make you drool. She has a knack for finding those unique and extra-special recipes for any occasion! She is the mother of one little cutie who keeps her hopping (and smiling)!

 

AnnaLisa is a recent college graduate who loves baking almost as much as she loves doting on her nieces and nephews. Her and my 12-year-old daughter are the force behind a large percentage of the desserts on this site!

Trisha is our resident expert in New Mexican cuisine. Her amazing, yet totally family friendly, culinary creations remind me how simple of a chef I really am. She is the busy mom of five small children, including a newborn, which means that her husband Aaron also pulls his weight in the kitchen and is the food photographer du jour!

Kristina (known as "K" in the blogging world) is the mother of two very energetic young children who make sure there is never a dull moment in her life. She is constantly on the search for recipes that her picky kids will eat and she loves making goodies to share with her friends. She also has a very restricted diet due to digestive issues. 

Mom somehow managed to keep eight kids fed on a tight budget, yet still instilled a love of good food and cooking in all of us girls. I vividly remember her bravely trying and complimenting my numerous creative kitchen concoctions in my youth. Now it's just her and Dad and one last brother at home and instead of feeding the masses they're always searching for healthy whole-grain dishes and creative ways to serve up fruits and vegetables.
