About Cooking Trove

I grew up baking with my grandmothers in the Midwest and always had an interest in cooking, so I turned to the kitchen in my free time. I checked out cookbooks from the library and started to recreate healthy versions of the dishes I remembered my grandmothers making.

Soon, I became wild about coming up with lighter twists on those comfort foods that tasted just as delicious.

I quit my full-time consulting job to pursue my blog exclusively. My “hobby” had ignited a fire. Not only did I want to eat healthy recipes that tasted fantastic, I wanted to teach others to do the same.

About My Recipes

Cooking Trove is a trusted resource for home cooks and busy families who are eager to eat wholesome food, but who don’t want to give up their favorite dishes, spend hours cooking, or buy pricey, fussy ingredients.

  • My recipes are for everyone. Kitchen novices, families, young kids, and seasoned-cooks.
  • On my blog, you’ll find hundreds of easy-to-follow, from-scratch recipes that are inspired by seasonal favorites, my travels, and the cherished recipes that have been passed down to me.

I also share helpful kitchen tips, step-by-step photos, and video tutorials that will give you confidence in the kitchen.

  • My recipes are mostly healthy, use minimally processed ingredients (all of which you can find at an average grocery store), and focus on incorporating important food groups like fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and whole grains.
  • I specialize in easy, healthy dinners,you’ll also find plenty of healthy breakfast recipes, and a few indulgent desserts too, because a world without chocolate is simply not a world in which I am prepared to live.

I truly hope Cooking Trove will become your go-to for easy-to-make meals that are good for you and that you will adore. I’m thankful you’re here!
