Hi, I’m Wendy and welcome to my recipe box.
I originally built this site as a simple digital home for my recipes. For years I kept handwritten cards, torn-out magazine pages, and screenshots scattered everywhere. One day I decided to organize them all in one place…and this website was born.
What started as a personal recipe archive has turned into something much bigger. People began finding the site, cooking the recipes, and leaving comments. Suddenly this little project wasn’t just helping me keep track of recipes, it was helping others discover new favorites. Honestly, that’s been the most fun part.
I grew up in the Midwest, surrounded by home-cooked meals and food traditions with Scandinavian, German, Polish, and other hearty influences. We didn’t overthink food. We made meals that filled the house with good smells and brought people together. Those flavors, techniques, and memories show up throughout the recipes here: simple ingredients, approachable steps, and dishes meant to share.
If you try a recipe, I hope it brings you the same kind of comfort and enjoyment that I feel when making it. Thanks for being here and for cooking along with me. Let me know what you think of each recipe you try by leaving a comment!
