Kitchen Tested. Family Approved.

When I was a child, my mother often shooed me out of the kitchen for my lack of cooking ambition and my penchant to make a mess. When I got a place of my own, the stove was used for storage while I dined out at neighborhood restaurants. When I married and became a mother, all that changed.

V's kitchen-tested and family-approved recipes! Inspired by fresh products and everyday ingredients that meet the picky palates of two tots and a meat-and-potatoes-loving husband.

Now I focus on making simple, wholesome meals for my family that are also delicious and easily put together. Even though we still eat out and have frozen corn dogs from a box, I strive to prepare home-cooked meals as an extension of my love. The recipes you’ll find on the blog are inspired by fresh products and everyday ingredients that meet the picky palates of my two tots and meat-and-potatoes-loving husband.

I hope you’ll find something that agrees with your taste buds, too. Let’s Eat! — v.
