Hi there! I’m Andie, the recipe developer, home cook, and food lover behind Recipes by Andie. This space is all about making home cooking feel effortless, enjoyable, and totally doable—no matter your experience level. I believe that a great meal doesn’t have to be complicated, and my mission is to help you create delicious, approachable recipes that bring joy to your table.

Where It All Began

My love for cooking started in the heart of the home—the kitchen. Growing up, I watched my mom and grandmother turn simple ingredients into unforgettable meals. The warmth, the smells, the laughter—it all inspired me to see food as more than fuel. It became a creative outlet and a source of connection. Over the years, my curiosity turned into a deep passion, and eventually, that passion became Recipes by Andie.

I started this blog to share the recipes I love most—the ones that feel like home, that spark joy in busy days, and that you’ll want to make again and again.

From Everyday Cook to Recipe Creator

What began as following recipes for fun soon turned into a journey of creating my own. I found myself tweaking, improving, and finally writing recipes that worked beautifully for real life—simple ingredients, clear steps, and bold flavors. I’m all about comfort food with a fresh twist, weeknight meals that don’t feel rushed, and baked treats that anyone can master.

At Recipes by Andie, I share everything from quick dinners to cozy casseroles, wholesome bowls, and the sweet stuff that makes life a little better.

My Cooking Philosophy

I believe that food is best when it’s shared, and that cooking should feel like an act of love—not a chore. My approach is all about simplicity, flexibility, and flavor. You don’t need fancy tools or expensive ingredients to make great food. You just need a little inspiration, a willingness to try, and a recipe you can trust.
