Hi. I’m Colleen, the new chef at Pocket Change Gourmet, and I love to cook! Growing food, preparing food, and sharing food with friends and family has always been a central and joyful part of my life and I’m excited to share my recipes with you.
As a working mom of three young children, I’ll be the first to admit that our busy lives occasionally require us to forage for store-bought frozen meals in the back of the freezer for last-minute meals. But I have found that delicious, nutritious, homemade food is by far the best and easiest way to feed my family. And it does not have to be complicated or expensive to be delectable! Simple, fresh ingredients plus a little time and planning can make “What’s for dinner?” an easy question to answer.
Not skilled in the kitchen? No problem. I’ll break the recipes down step-by-step to guide you.
Short on time? Look for the “Timesaver” sidebar with ready-made products you can use in the recipes to save you time on those busy weeknights.
Gluten free? You’ve come to the right place. We keep a gluten-free kitchen and I’ll share my tips for adapting recipes to make them allergy safe and delicious.
I hope you enjoy the recipes I’ve shared as much as my family does.
Happy cooking!
-Colleen
