Not A Food Blog

Simple recipes… not the other crap

  • What The Heck Is This?

About Us

This site was created in 2024 out of a general frustration with food blogs that were overly focused on ensuring Search Engine Optimization (SEO). These blogs have excellent recipes that are hidden behind pages and pages of ads and "origin stories" that need to be scrolled through to get to the "good stuff". Our goal here is to create a clean simple to use site that aggregates recipes without crap that have been tested in our own kitchen.

The pictures here are not glamorous. The recipes are not complex. This is the stuff that a real family cooks and has chosen to compile and share so you can find a simple easy to read recipe.

We have done everything we can to ensure that people's intellectual property has been protected by this site and to ensure that credit has been given to the sites from which we have sourced our information.
