About Me

Welcome and thank you for visiting Recipes Simple!

Recipes Simple was started to share easy and delicious family friendly recipes that use simple ingredients. Here you will find the best homemade recipes the whole family will love. Plus lots of tempting dessert recipes because I have a big sweet tooth!

Hi! I'm Judy, the recipe developer, food photographer, copywriter, and creator behind Recipes Simple. I'm also a wife, mom, and Mimi to two grandsons.

I created RecipesSimple.com to share budget-friendly and family-friendly recipes that are simple, easy, and delicious!

My goal is to help you enjoy wonderful meals at home to eat around your kitchen table that are not time-consuming and allow you to control the ingredients. That's a win for all of us!

I work outside the home, so I love having quick and easy meals that only require a little bit of time to prepare. Our lives are busy, and simple dinner recipes help get food on the table faster.

How I Decided On The Name - Recipes Simple

My mom was a great cook, and even though she worked full-time when I was growing up, she always made sure we enjoyed a home-cooked meal. She always cooked from scratch.

Every summer, she would freeze and can her own vegetables, so we always enjoyed good food year-round. I spent many summers shucking corn on the front porch.

She always told me to "keep recipes simple," and that's how I decided on the name for my blog.

She passed away from Alzheimer's in July 2018, and we miss her so much, but thankfully, she passed some of her recipes on to me and my daughter.

What Will You Find At Recipes Simple?

• You will find hundreds of delicious recipes that are easy to make using simple ingredients.
• Most of my recipes are perfect for the busy family. My family enjoys these meals, and we like a wide variety of food, so there are many delicious recipes to choose from!
• I provide step-by-step instructions, recipe tips, substitutions, variations, and recommendations for storing and freezing so you have all the necessary information to make each recipe.

When I have free time, I enjoy reading, working in the flower beds, relaxing on our screened-in porch on the swing, going for walks, and just being outside.

But most of all, I love spoiling my grandsons, born in 2019 and 2021. They are so much fun and such a blessing to us!
