Simple Recipes. Real Life. No Overthinking.

Meet Beth and Tara

Two Gen Xers who grew up on Hot Pockets, pizza rolls, and toaster strudel, but somehow were also expected to have dinner on the table by age 12. They contain multitudes.

Over the years, they’ve figured out how to balance homemade meals with the occasional “let’s not make life harder than it needs to be” shortcut. And despite busy schedules, questionable 90s nutrition, and general life chaos, they’ve managed to get a hot meal on the table more often than not – while showing their kids and friends how to do the same.

The kids may be grown, but the urge to share what they’ve learned hasn’t gone anywhere. So here they are – ready to help kitchen newbies, tired humans, and anyone just looking for fresh ideas.

If you want recipes that are sometimes from scratch, sometimes a little “assembly required,” but always simple and doable . . . you’ve found your people. Welcome. Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions! We love hearing from you!
