The Blogger Spotlight: From Valerie’s Kitchen

Facebooktwitterpinterestmail

Hi all! My name is Valerie and I’m so happy to be here as part of Julie’s Blogger Spotlight series to share a little bit about what’s cookin’ in and out of my kitchen. I’ve been sharing simple, seasonal recipes for the home cook on my site, From Valerie’s Kitchen, for the past four years.

I’m a big fan of Julie and her site and as I’ve gotten to know her over time, I’m constantly surprised to find how many things we share in common. We both rocked some pretty awesome 80’s hair, married our true loves at a young age, and jumped into this crazy world of blogging at close to the same time. She also happens to have a daughter named, Valerie. I think we were destined to become friends.

Most of my readers are busy people looking for realistic, approachable recipes using simple ingredients to feed their families and I’m here to deliver! My husband and I raised four boys and work together as the owners of a small business so I’m all too familiar with the struggles of getting through those hectic days. With a little advance thought and planning you can get through those crazy days with your sanity intact and a delicious dinner on the table. My aim is to provide wholesome, family-friendly meal solutions that will help you avoid hitting up the local pizza joint or fast food restaurant and I include lots of in-depth instruction and step-by-step photos to help you along the way.

Here is a sample of what’s cooking in my kitchen.
