Welcome to the Newlywed Chef! This blog was made to inspire people and make them know that cooking is easier than you think. In this blog, I will give you good recipes with step by step instructions to help you feel more confident in cooking your meals. You will follow our family as each day I post what I made for dinner the night before - complete with pictures!

I started cooking for a few reasons. Being a newlywed, I felt an urge to start cooking. Prior to getting married, my cooking claim to fame was cooking up a frozen bag of pasta and veggies. And I must admit that I cruised the take-out menus more often than I should have. After getting so many wonderful gadgets and cookware at our shower, I felt the need to learn and use each one! Along with wanting to start eating healthier with a focus on organics - I made a pledge to start cooking dinner each night. I absolutely fell in love, and was surprised at how easy it is!

Unfortunately, I am not a professional photographer or a perfectionist, so the pictures on this site aren’t going to be amazing art on a plate.  I make real meals and sometimes that means it gets a little sloppy, but in the end, it’s about good food for you and your loved ones to enjoy!
