My name is Kat, and I can't cook for shit.
At some point in my early 20s the realization set in that pasta tossed with olive oil was not going to sustain me much longer, not even if I threw in some balsamic vinegar to make it fancy.
So I did what every other person in society does when they have a problem, I googled it.
What I found was a nightmare. A ridiculous landslide of recipes and pictures that were delivered by professional bloggers in perfect hair and makeup with pristine marble-countertop kitchens, telling my how easy this was despite 30+ steps and ingredients that I had never heard of. There was a lot of failure, frustration, burnt food, and the inevitable fast-food drive through.
All I really wanted were recipes that met these 5 criteria:
- Fast enough for a weeknight
- Easy and essentially idiot-proof
- Shortcuts whenever possible
- Reasonably healthy
- Not taste fucking disgusting
Over the years I've gathered recipes that meet these goals, and my hope is that by sharing these with the world I can help alleviate your suffering too. And if you have any recipes to share, that's cool too! Send them my way, I'll try them out and give you credit on the site.
My Promise to You:
- I actually eat these recipes on a regular basis
- No fancy pictures with professionally staged food
- This site is literally just me, there's no team of marketers involved
- No sponsored-content, although I do have some Amazon referral links
- There will be cursing, because I really do hate cooking
Too Long, Didn't Read
I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL CHEF. I am a web designer and developer who works way too much and somehow thought that starting a cooking blog would be a cool idea that I totally have time for.
