A little about me:
The name “Tastes Better From Scratch” is courtesy of a motto ingrained in me by my Mom. I don’t think it was until I moved out of the house that I realized you could buy things like “pre-made” pie crusts or store bought jam. She taught me well that everything really does taste better homemade.
I love to use real ingredients to make delicious homemade food for the everyday cook. I try not to use processed products, although you may see a recipe here and there with a short cut.
I come from a long line of amazing cooks. I have many fond memories of experimenting in the kitchen with my twin sister. We jumped at the responsibility of making dinner for our family and loved experimenting with our own “creative” dessert recipes.
After graduating with a Bachelors degree in Journalism, I worked for a magazine publication and an organic foods distributor. Along the way I started compiling my favorite recipes on a blog and eventually decided to make this blog my full time business.
My family are the true critics and taste testers behind the recipes you see here, so you can bet that each recipe has been thoroughly criticized 🙂 . If a dish doesn’t get their stamp of approval, then I don’t share it.
