👩🍳 Who’s Behind Cook This Today?
Hi, I’m Lisa — the woman behind Cook This Today. — I’m 48, a wife to Michael, mom to Jackson (15) and Lily (10), and someone who used to live on coffee and calendar alerts. At home, our days are often brightened by Max — our loyal dog and the unofficial taste tester in the kitchen.
For years, I was constantly running — between meetings, deadlines, after-school pickups, and the usual “what’s for dinner?” panic at 6PM.
Cooking? I loved it… but I had no time for it.
Until one day, I paused.
I looked at my daughter’s tired little face, my teenage son reheating yet another frozen pizza, and my husband doing his best to help — and I realized something: I didn’t want just food on the table. I wanted comfort. Connection. Calm.
So, I made the hardest and most beautiful decision of my life:
I left my job and stepped back into the kitchen — but this time, not just as a cook. As a giver of warmth.
🍲 Why I Started This Blog
Cook This Today was born out of my need for something simple but soothing.
Not perfect meals. Not Pinterest moments.
Just real food for real days — meals you can make even when life feels like a lot.
This blog is all about Easy Comfort Food for Busy People — because I’ve been that woman who had 20 minutes and no plan… and because sometimes, grilled cheese can feel like a hug.
