hey I’m stef, a 29-year-old living in hamilton, ontario 🇨🇦 

I used to come home from work and hate the idea of making dinner.

I was overworked, under-paid and fresh out of school - meaning I was very broke - so takeout wasn’t really an option.

I started cooking, watched a ton of recipe videos, and made some… not-great food (at first!)

But somewhere along the way cooking stopped feeling like a chore and started feeling grounding — like a creative reset at the end of the day.

Then, out of the blue, one month after buying a house, I got laid off.

And honestly? It felt like a weird relief. 
 
I had already started this page as a way to reconnect with my relationship to food and at this point all I wanted to do was cook and share the kind of dinner recipes that burnt-out corporate version of me would want to make. 

Easy, cozy, low-effort dinners that actually taste good, have a short ingredient lists, about 30 minutes cook time, and minimal dishes. 

Because we’re still tired but we want good food.

If you want simple, comforting dinners that fit into real life (and taste great), hit follow and cook with me this year <3 by @stefsdinner

I’ve been a little inspired (maybe peer pressured) by all the au poivre recipes floating around right now. especially @cocolarkincooks chicken, and now turkey !!, versions. so decided to ride with it and try my own riff.

we decided to switch things up and try a pig roast for Thanksgiving this year, instead of the normal bird 🦃 I went back and forth on sides leading up to the day but landed on a few BBQ classics rather than the traditional fixings ~ the warm weather was on our side and it was a fun day ❤️ by @stefsdinner
