Hi and welcome! I’m Gen. I’m a working momma of two constantly striving to grow as a mother, wife and professional all while trying to cram in self care. Whew, it’s exhausting. While ending my day with the hot new autobiography everyone has been buzzing about sounds nice…I just don’t have the energy for it. Nothing truly soothes and refuels me like sitting with a good cookbook and a cup of coffee. I peruse the pictures, read the descriptions, scan the ingredients and picture the delectable dish on my table with family and friends all around.
This blog is an excuse to indulge in my cookbook obsession AND to offer realistic reviews from one busy parent to another. From quick, easy and healthy weeknight meals for picky eaters to special occasion dishes that wow your family and friends, I will test the recipes and offer my thoughts on how each cookbook will fit in the library of everyday parents. I’m not a chef, food writer or photographer. I’m just self-taught cook writing about life, family, work and most importantly a pragmatic perspective on cookbooks from classics to new releases.
