Easy Recipes Your Family Will Love
As a busy mom, my family runs on easy, no fuss meals. I am always striving to make recipes that are equal parts wholesome, simple and delicious. On the blog, you will find hundreds of tried-and-true recipes that your family will love, including:
- 🥞 Healthier comfort foods with classic crowd-pleasing flavors.
- 🥕 Recipes made with fresh, seasonal ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store.
- ⏲️ Meals that are easy and quick, with minimal prep and dishes.
I methodically test every recipe to make sure you will get great results. My adorable taste testers like to give me lots of feedback (you can always trust kids to be painfully honest), and the only recipes that make it to the blog are the recipes we love. Each recipe post includes step-by-step photos and detailed instructions, so every reader can find success!
My Family’s Favorite Recipes
You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces. Just good food from fresh ingredients.

meet Danielle
I’m Danielle, the blogger, recipe developer, and food photographer behind 30 Minute Kitchen. I’m a former lawyer turned stay-at-home mom to two crazy, wonderful boys. I live in the beautiful Midwest, where I spend half of the year hiking, camping, and soaking up the sun, and the other half of the year cocooned in sweaters refusing to leave the house. I love espresso, and think almost every meal needs a little cheese on top.
The kitchen has always been my happy place. I love to cook, and would choose a home-cooked meal around my table over a fancy restaurant every time. Add some good wine and my family and friends, and that’s about all I need.
Although these days I write about food for my job, I’m just a real mom. I am well acquainted with the weekday dinner rush, with a baby on your hip, a toddler on the floor, and only 15 minutes to get a meal on the table after daycare before everyone (maybe even you) starts to cry. So, my friend, if you are here because it’s 5pm and your kids are already starving, I hereby give you permission to serve toast for dinner. Or hummus with veggies. Or scrambled eggs. This is real life, and dinner won’t always be perfect. It doesn’t have to be. Get your sweet family together around the table and serve anything that’s easy. It’s the time together that matters.
Thanks for being here!
