Hi I’m Lisa. Welcome!
I’m so glad you found me. This is the place for all of my fresh family meals, easy recipes, cooking tips, meal planning, school lunch packing, and loads more. I’m a mom to four kids - two sets of twins who are less than three years apart. To say they keep me busy is an understatement.
This isn’t your typical food site - this is more of a personal blog with a lot of helpful stuff mixed in. Yes, I do have some recipes that I hope you’ll like. And I have shared thousands of packed lunches over the years. But you’ll also find a lot of useful tips for a busy family, meal planning tips, kitchen shortcuts and hacks, and thoughts about life and parenting in general. If you want to try out some of my favorite things, I’ve got a custom Amazon shopping page where you can find all of my top recommendations.
Even though you’ll find some recipes here, most of my cooking is freeform, often inspired by recipes but rarely specifically following them. I encourage you to try this way of cooking - be inspired by tastes you love, experiment and get creative.
