Bethany (AKA the Daughter) is in her thirties. She lives with Darlene (AKA the Mom). We live in the Pacific Northwest.
Darlene has been cooking for about 50 years. Bethany has been learning for about 15 years. Darlene likes cooking and baking, while Bethany likes to come up with new recipes for Darlene to cook.
For most of her cooking history, Darlene has been using recipes that make 4 to 6 servings. We have both been eating 4 to 6 servings per meal, just ourselves. Bethany decided it was time for her and Darlene to change that lifestyle, and Darlene heartily agreed.
Bethany decided to have gastric bypass surgery in January 2025. Darlene decided to eat like her daughter to encourage her and to lose weight herself. We both wanted to eat healthier. We needed to cut down on fat, sugar, and carbs and stop eating processed meals.
Bethany thought of starting the Blog to help anyone who had these goals as well. We also wanted to come up with 2 serving-size recipes. Darlene has some wonderful recipes that both she and Bethany wanted to keep eating. We are excited to add new recipes as well. We hope to give you delicious meals, in the right portions, so that you too can eat well.
