I absolutely adore your recipes! They call for ingredients I usually have in my pantry. I have your Minimalist Baker Cookbook, and we have made lots of the yummy recipes in the book. I appreciate all these extra recipes on the website. Thank you for doing the incredibly delicious and inspiring work you are doing!
Found this food blog back in September, and O have tried so many new recipes that made me say “Wow. That’s staying in dinner rotation.” At least two are on this list! Thank you for easy, nourishing meals and yummy baked goods!
I do not know if I can continue to come to this site and be inundated with so many ads. A few on the page are ok, but ads floating videos is way to much. Please consider a paywall for those that really care about your food.
Thank you for the suggestion, Patrick. Apologies for any inconvenience! We always try to optimize for user experience, while also having ads to keep the content free and high quality.
I am happy to report that I have made at least six of these recipes and as I read the titles said “yes!!” to each and every one of them. Thank you so much for providing such wonderful recipes, with easy to follow directions, easy to obtain ingredients, and an overwhelming amount of joy in sharing! I look forward to all the new food adventures to come in 2024. Again, thank you!
