Hello readers!

Thank you so much for your interest. My name is Dan, and alongside my wife Kristen we have created recipesfirst. One of our many love languages is cooking together and enjoying an amazing meal, and we have spent a lot of time in the kitchen curating and practicing different recipes our family loves. We live on the east coast and have been blessed with many incredible places to eat that has lead to a lot of inspiration and fuelled our fire for cooking.

Collaborating in the kitchen, the ebb and flow and intimacy of the space is one of the pillars of our relationship. Blogging is new to us, but are excited to share a part of our lives that we love so much.

In 2021, we welcomed our first child. As new parents, we didn’t know how what aspects of our lives would change or how difficult it would be to spend as much time experimenting in the kitchen as we had in the past. But in reality we just added another one to our team who certainly loved to eat, and now as we have moved into the toddler stage, have gained the cutest little sous-chef who’s curiosity and joy brings an added layer of joy to the kitchen.

Kristen and I cant wait to share something we care so greatly as we grow in our new home alongside family and friends. As our lives have progressed and our family has grown and gotten busier, our goal is to share the recipes we love in a way that curates to the same busy schedule we have without sacrificing delicious, nutritional recipes. We hope you follow along on our journey through every changing battles with making time for cooking, entering the picky eating stage with a toddler and battle budgets with the ever rising inflation.

Bon appetite,

Dan
