Hi there, and welcome to 101 Simply Recipes! I’m Dija, your kitchen guide and fellow food lover. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by complicated recipes or thought, “I don’t have time to cook something good,” I’ve been there too. That’s why 101 Simply Recipes exists—to make cooking feel effortless, fun, and full of flavor, no matter your experience level.
Why I Started 101 Simply Recipes
My love for cooking started in my grandmother’s kitchen, where I’d watch her mix ingredients with care, never measuring but always knowing just the right amount. She believed food was more than just fuel—it was a way to connect, comfort, and celebrate life. That belief stuck with me, and now, I want to share that same warmth with you.
At 101 Simply Recipes, I bring you daily recipes that fit your busy life—whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast, a cozy dinner, or a sweet treat to brighten your day. Some recipes are classic, some have a fun twist, and others are just the kind of comfort food we all crave. But every dish has one thing in common: it’s meant to be shared and enjoyed.
Simple, Delicious, and Real
Let’s be real—nobody has time for overly complicated recipes with hard-to-find ingredients. That’s why I keep things simple and approachable, so anyone can cook with confidence. Every recipe comes with clear, step-by-step instructions and practical tips to help you succeed.
And because I know food is personal, I always encourage you to make a recipe your own—swap an ingredient, adjust the seasoning, or put your twist on it. Cooking isn’t about perfection; it’s about joy.
Nutrition? It’s About Balance!
Food should nourish your body and soul. Some days, we need a hearty, home-cooked meal. Other days, we crave a warm chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven. That’s life! While I strive to include fresh, wholesome ingredients in my recipes, I also believe in balance.
A little butter? A little sugar? No guilt here! Enjoy your food, trust your instincts, and listen to what makes you feel good. Nutritional values are estimates, but the real goal is to cook meals that make you happy and satisfied.
