A Note from Me to You
I truly believe in the power of food to heal, inspire, and bring people together.
This cookbook is more than just recipes—it’s a piece of my story, my kitchen, and my heart. These meals were made during ordinary days and hard seasons, shared around our family table, and loved by so many of you.
Food brings people together—and this book is my way of sharing a piece of our home with yours.
Here’s What’s Inside
- Over 100 Tried-and-True Recipes: Inside, you’ll find a mix of new creations, favorites from my YouTube channel, and recipes passed down from my family. Every single recipe includes a full-page photo, because I know how important it is to see what you’re about to cook—especially when you’re feeding a hungry family!
- The Best of My Blog & YouTube, All in One Place: I’ve gathered your most-loved, most-cooked, and most-requested recipes—the ones that get the biggest “wow” from my family and yours. No more scrolling or searching—these are the top hits from my blog and YouTube, now refined, retested, and beautifully photographed in one easy-to-use cookbook. These meals define my kitchen—and now they can be part of yours too.
- My Favorite Tips, Tools & Substitutions: I get asked all the time about my favorite ingredient swaps, kitchen tools, and how I adapt recipes for different diets. I’ve included a full section with all of that—so you’ll have a go-to reference whenever you need it.
- Personal Story: A Look Into My Life– For years, I’ve been asked to share more about my personal story. This cookbook gave me the space to finally do that. You’ll find little glimpses of my life, how cooking helped me through some really hard seasons, and why sharing meals with my family means so much to me.
Plus: family meal planning tips, pantry staples I swear by, and inspiration to make dinner easier every week.
Why I Made This Book
As a mom of two and someone who’s juggled a lot over the years, I know what it’s like to feel stretched thin—especially when it comes to dinnertime. But I believe you don’t have to choose between easy and delicious. You can have both.
That’s what this cookbook is all about:
Meals that are simple, affordable, comforting, and actually doable—even on the busiest nights. My hope is that this book brings your family together, saves you time, and reminds you that you’re not alone in the kitchen.
“I’ve made almost every recipe in Julia’s cookbook—my picky kids even asked for seconds! This is a must-have for busy families.”
— Amanda G., cookbook buyer
