Easy Recipes
for Delicious Quick Meals

Spend less time in the kitchen - and eat better too - using my recipes for quick meals using mainly unprocessed foods.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to my recipe collection! If you are looking for easy and healthy recipes, you have come to the right place!

I'm Ellen Gray, an ordinary busy mom. (Not a nutritionist. Not a skilled chef). I enjoy eating more than I enjoy cooking.

I want to feed my family nutritious foods. I want to make the most of my food dollar.

I know that using wholesome ingredients, in their natural state whenever possible, is the healthiest and most economical way to prepare food.

I've been hunting for years for easy and tasty recipes that are also nutritious, and I've collected my favorites here for you.

I've tested every recipe in my own kitchen. My family has enjoyed and approved every one. We've taken all of the photos, too.

Enjoy these easy recipes! Use them, modify them, and make them your own! Then get out of the kitchen and enjoy yourself!

Sincerely,

Ellen Gray
