Hello and welcome to our blog!

Our names are Emma and Sean. We’re based in Chicago, IL, and live with our two dogs, Chips and Ivy, and our cat, Porkchop. By day, Sean works as a Director of Sales for a tea company, and Emma is a Content and Social Media Manager for a restaurant group.

When we started dating a few years ago, we had absolutely no idea how to cook.

We decided it was time to make a change and spent all of our free time learning new recipes and cooking up a storm in our tiny studio apartment’s kitchen. We went from endless Chipotle runs and a fridge full of left over Chinese to making a full meal plan every week. We made that change and we want to help you do the same.

When you’re in your 20’s, it’s a huge adjustment. The first 18 years of your life, you more than likely had mom and dad filling your bellies each night. Then, you spent the next four years eating late night McDonald’s after that frat party you probably shouldn’t have gone to. Once you’re in your first real apartment, and maybe in your first real relationship, you look back on those past few years with regret. You realize you have no idea how to cook.

These recipes are not only affordable, but they’re easy. There won’t be a long list of ingredients that you’ve never heard of or 100 steps that seem impossible.

Anyone is capable of learning how to cook. Just a few short years ago, we began our cooking journey and we haven’t looked back since. We hope you find our site not only entertaining, but above all else – helpful.

Thanks for visiting!

Emma and Sean
