Recipes, Ideas, and Inspiration for Busy Home Cooks

Hello, Home Cook!

I’m Lauren McDuffie, and I’m thrilled you’re here.

I’m a Portland, OR-based cookbook author, photographer, stylist, and writer. I spend much of my time working with food in as many ways as I can. Here, I share tons of easy recipes for busy people, often with a Southern accent. My not-so-small goal is for this to be the internet’s favorite cozy corner for Southern and Appalachian recipes.
