Welcome to RoutineRecipes — a cozy, inviting place filled with comforting, easy-to-make recipes and everyday kitchen inspiration. I’m Gwen, the home cook behind the scenes — a comfort food lover, everyday kitchen experimenter, and a firm believer that the simplest meals are often the most memorable. Alongside my wonderful husband, who doubles as my top taste-tester, biggest supporter, and occasional sous chef, we’ve created a kitchen full of laughter, love, and delicious memories.
RoutineRecipes was created from our shared love of food, family, and the simple happiness that comes from cooking at home. Whether it’s a soothing weeknight dinner, a laid-back weekend bake, or a sweet treat made just because, every recipe you’ll find here is one we’ve enjoyed together around our own table. For us, food is more than fuel — it’s how we connect, relax, and celebrate life’s everyday moments.
Each recipe I share is carefully tested in our home kitchen and made using familiar, pantry-friendly ingredients. I strive to keep things simple yet flavorful — approachable but never boring. I know how busy life can be, and my goal is to make mealtime something you look forward to, not something that adds stress. No matter where you are on your cooking journey, I want you to feel confident, inspired, and excited to cook.
What makes RoutineRecipes truly special is the heart behind every dish. Each recipe comes with a story, a smile, and a little piece of the warmth we bring into our home every day. We believe food has a powerful way of bringing people together — whether you’re cooking for your family, hosting friends, or sharing a quiet meal with someone you love.
So from our kitchen to yours — welcome! We’re so glad you’re here, and we hope these recipes help you create moments that are just as meaningful as the meals themselves. Grab your apron, pour a cup of coffee, and let’s get cooking!
Who is Gwen?
Gwen is the heart and soul behind RoutineRecipes — a passionate home cook who loves creating meals that feel comforting, familiar, and full of heart. She’s not a professionally trained chef, but years of hands-on cooking, experimenting, and learning in her own kitchen have shaped a collection of recipes that bring warmth and happiness to the table. By her side is her husband, the very first taste-tester, offering enthusiastic thumbs-ups (and the occasional honest critique), making RoutineRecipes a true team effort.
Gwen started RoutineRecipes to share the dishes that bring her the most joy — simple, satisfying meals made with care and love. With a friendly, down-to-earth approach and a genuine love for good food and good company, she invites you into her kitchen to try new recipes, build confidence, and rediscover the simple pleasure of homemade cooking.
