About me
Hello there! Welcome to Tastes of Homemade. If you are looking for delicious, easy-to-make recipes, you have come to the right place.
I live on beautiful Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada with my husband of 28 years, our 3 dogs, and 1 cat. I love cooking, photography, reading, coffee, and Lego.
I have been cooking my entire life. I love the creativity of making something wonderful from a pile of ingredients. Rarely following a cookbook, I have always preferred to make something that was my own.
I’ve been developing recipes and sharing them with friends for as long as I can remember.
My goal with Tastes of Homemade is to bring you easy recipes with simple ingredients and straightforward instructions.
My recipes are tested multiple times and never published until I can be sure they work. Nothing is more frustrating than finding what you think will be an amazing recipe and only having it flop.
I do my best to create recipes with simple, easy-to-find ingredients, and I may slide in something fancier here and there.
I also share tips and tricks to make your cooking life easier. I want you to love being in the kitchen as much as I do.
We invite you to dive into our recipe wonderland
Some Fun Facts About Me
- I love animals. I have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 fish tanks. I would have more, but then there would be no room for myself or my husband in our small house.
- I live on Vancouver Island, on the West Coast of Canada. It is pretty much the perfect place to live.
- I have been cooking and creating recipes for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved being in the kitchen.
- I don’t own a microwave. I prefer reheating food in the oven or air fryer.
- I like sugar in my tea, but not in my coffee.
- Until 5 years ago, I absolutely hated eggs. I will now eat them, but only with runny yolks.
- I love reading and will stay up well past bedtime to read “just one more chapter.”
- I’ve seen almost every Canadian province and most of the United States.
- We rarely go out to eat, and when we do it’s usually to the local brewery for beer and nachos.
- When I’m not cooking or reading, my hobbies are macro photography and Lego.
