Welcome to Savory Nothings, your cozy little slice of the Internet – where we share easy and tasty recipes your kids will love, that keep your wallet happy and make your noisy neighbor try and steal your kitchen secrets.
(In case you just wanted to know if you can share one of out recipes on your site, please go here.)
I’m Nora, and first and foremost, I’m a mom. I’m also married to a professional chef.
Which, when you think about it for a minute, makes life around the family table very hard sometimes:
- They have to please picky little eaters, so the recipes needs to be kid-friendly
- They have to live up to the standards of a professional chef, so everything needs to be delicious
- We’re just a busy family who’s trying to fit it all in, so our meals need to be quick and easy:
How this works?
- Our resident trained chef brought the efficiency of a professional gastronomy kitchen for us at home (hint: it’s all in those knife skills for speedy chopping!)
- Knowledge from teaching home economics for meal planning and keeping the kitchen clean and organized.
- Utilizing years of being a cookbook hoarder and total foodie to add as much flavor as possible to otherwise easy-peasy meals.
I mean, life is still a circus, but at least it’s a properly fueled circus 😉
The Savory Nothings mission
With all of this experience and knowledge, this blog has become a mission to make the life of busy moms in the kitchen a whole lot easier.
It’s to help you get out of the struggle of scrambling to get home in time for dinner prep (hint, hint: it doesn’t need to be three hours before dinner time!). And while cooking (and cleaning the kitchen!) will always take a little time, we’ll try to make everything as quick and easy as possible so you have more precious mom-time to enjoy!
What’s on the blog?
That’s why you can find a whole bunch of quick and easy foolproof family recipes here on Savory Nothings.
Be it for a make-ahead breakfast, an easy dessert or a dinner that’s prepped in 10 minutes – they’re gathered right here in one place for you to browse.
All the recipes on Savory Nothings are tested at least twice, in at least two family kitchens, before they make it to the blog. A lot of them are riffs on old family recipes from growing up on a dairy farm on the prairie (sounds very made up, but it’s true!), so they’re old tried-and-true favorites. Because you should be able to trust in our recipes, always!
Of course, all recipes are approved by our entire family, including the fancy-fancy chef and the picky-picky kids.
These are some of our all-time favorites:
want to know if I’m a real person?
No worries, I’m not taking it personally – the internet is a crazy place after all, and you want to know who you’re trusting with your groceries. See me featured in a few places:
- I’m a contributor on Food Fanatic!
- Find me on FeedFeed
- Here I am on The Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen Site
You can also find me featured on sites like BuzzFeed (my One Pot Rigatoni Bolognese!), AOL (how cool, I have an entire tag page to myself!) or, obviously, Country Living (the meatloaf of all meatloaves).
Sometimes I say clever food things on the internet, like here on Edible Arrangements for example.
