Does cooking feel like a chore? Struggling to find the time to feed your family? Constantly spending too much money on take-out? With super simple recipes, mind-blowing guides & life-changing hacks – we’ve got you covered. WELCOME TO lil’recipes!
@lil’recipes.
we provide extremely useful & helpful info, tips & tricks (no fluff or B.S.) that will make you feel like a warrior in the kitchen (minus the screaming)
With all your new extra time, you might even be able to get some time for yourself…maybe get a hobby, wash your hair, sleep.
how are we different?
There are a ton (and I mean a ton) of blog sites dedicated to recipes. I know, I know. I hear you. So, what makes us at lil’recipes different? Well, for starters, full transparent disclaimer:
psst…we may not be for everyone:
If you are someone who:
- loves reading long recipe descriptions & beautiful backstories about how a specific shrimp made me feel, that is awesome! You won’t find that here.
- enjoys diving into lengthy, essay-style guides, great! There are plenty of resources that do just that. We are not one of them.
- wants to know every single detail about starting solids with your baby, beauty! We are pretty superb at providing some helpful tips but we are not medical professionals. You won’t find extensive advice here. If you do need medical advice about your little one, please do see your pediatrician or OBGYN.
- doesn’t like to celebrate epic failures, then we are definitely not for you. Warning – things may get awkward.
to create a community that embraces simplicity…and some dry humor
our quirky & unique qualities:
we are a cooking recipe site, that hates cooking. The irony is not lost on us. You will not hear us gush about how our greatest joy is cooking for, or with, our family…and how much we ALL enjoyed ‘said’ meal. That all sounds lovely, it truly does, but it also sounds exhausting. For some, cooking is a passion, for others – like us, it is work. That means offering simple & painless solutions that make feeding your family a little more tolerable.
we publish our own recipes, guides, & tips as well as community-based recipes & hack submissions. We know that every household is unique, where different things work for each. That is why we love publishing your submissions! It allows our community to explore diverse tastes and gain new experiences.
we stay away from using terms like “toddler or fussy-eater approved”! Let’s face it, every kid has their own ‘unique’ triggers. 1,000,000s of toddlers may love this specific apple and berry yumminess in a bowl, and your kid will still be that little shit that won’t even look at it. Eat the food, d**m it!!!! As parents, we get it.
our info is comprehensive, without the complicated. With every post, we ask ourselves 1. does it provide value? 2. is it simple to follow? 3. is it concise? With tons of daily info thrown your way, we work our magic to give you well-sourced, helpful resources without all the extra fluff.
we try not to take ourselves too seriously. We may succeed, we may fail miserably, but we always laugh by throwing a bit of humor into the mix.
value is key
We strive not to regurgitate what is already available in large consumption on the web.
If there is something that we feel we can present better or find needs more detail, you bet that we will post it! But we won’t post something for the sake of posting. At lil’recipes, we value quality over quantity. We may not post every week, but what we post we are confident will make you sing.
so are you in?
If this sounds like your kind of place, welcome to lil’recipes! Have a look, join our community, share a recipe or hack, stay a while….
but not too long, we all have other important things to do.
your friend,
lil’recipes
