Common Cuisine |

Welcome to the new and improved CommonCuisine: Adventures in Everyday Cooking. I love to cook; I love to write. To be more accurate, I have a passion to write to uplift and inspire others to be their best person; and what better theme to start with than something we all have in common, food.

On this site you will find simple recipes to encourage and inspire you. They are my favorites, my most requested recipes resulting from ten years of potluck and big family dinners. I also post most successful new recipes I try, in case I should ever be tempted to try them out on the road. And you get the benefit, because you also can find them here anytime! My hope is that you can find something you can easily cook, and that your audience will enjoy eating.

In addition to recipes, you will notice a second food section. This includes my tips for simplifying your cooking in general, product reviews, and some important nutritional information. Sometimes I even find funny food pictures or newsworthy stories, so be prepared for an occasional chuckle!

Beyond recipes, my aim is to offer something to inspire you at the end of your day, to give you that extra spurt of energy to get dinner to the finish line. I am a mom, and I know that inspiration can come from unexpected sources, sometimes entirely unrelated to food. Other articles you will read cover health and beauty news; hobbies; and more thoughtful inspiration such as literary quotes, amazing stories, and faith talk.

Finally, know that I am producing this blog out of my desire to share information. If you enjoy my content, there are some completely painless ways you can support me. First, you can click a sponsored link to learn more about what is hopefully an area of interest to you. Or, you can bookmark my page and come back regularly to see my new content. Both ways are quick, simple, and free, but help me greatly. Thank you so much.

So what will inspire you to feed your loved ones tonight? Could it be nature photos or relaxation tips? How about a funny picture or story? Perhaps it is simply a recipe for French Onion Soup. Whatever it is, may you find what you came looking for, and may you be blessed today.
