About Stir & Chill
Let’s be honest: cooking isn’t always fun. After a long day of work, classes, or just existing, the last thing you want to do is spend an hour chopping onions or reading a recipe with 23 steps. As a home cook who has been a student, worked full-time, and is a parent, I have frequently turned to food blogs for help deciding what to eat and figuring out how to make it. I often found myself frustrated with how complicated, involved, and slightly deceptive the recipes I found could be.
This blog is for the lazy chefs, the burnt-out students, the overworked parents, and the kitchen-phobic souls who just want to eat something decent without wrecking the kitchen or their will to live. Recipes that take WAY longer than they say they will? No thank you. Recipes that take more than 30 minutes of active work? No thank you. Recipes that require expensive ingredients or versions fancier than what most people keep in their pantry? No thank you.
I’m all about easy, realistic recipes that require inexpensive ingredients, hardly any prep, and zero fancy techniques. If you can turn on an oven or stir something in a pan, we’re good to go. Whether you’re living off of pantry staples or trying to avoid another night of instant ramen, I’ve got your back.
Because let’s face it—good food shouldn’t be a full-time job.
