The Homemade Kitchen Cookbook
I wanted a cookbook you’d actually use—not one that sits on a shelf. The Homemade Kitchen is filled with simple, from-scratch recipes made with everyday ingredients, along with the tips, techniques, and variations that help you learn to cook rather than simply follow a recipe.
Inside you'll find 320 pages of staple recipes and family favorites—from breads and breakfasts to soups, sauces, main dishes, sides, and desserts. There are recipes for the stovetop, oven, Instant Pot, Crockpot, and more.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
Every meal covered
breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, soups, stews, sides, breads, and desserts
Staples made simple
pantry basics, sauces, and foundational recipes you’ll use over and over
From-scratch cooking
most recipes use whole ingredients with minimal processed foods, so you know exactly what’s in your meals
Multiple cooking methods
Instant Pot, oven, stovetop, slow cooker, and even air fryer where it makes sense
Flexible for every family
with notes for making recipes dairy-free, gluten-free, or budget-friendly
Meal planning made easy

Hi, I'm Hallie
I’m a trained pastry chef, homeschool mom of four, and the cook behind My Homemade Kitchen.
I love cooking from scratch, but I’m also a practical, no-nonsense cook. I believe you can make really good food without complicated recipes, expensive ingredients, or a kitchen full of specialty gadgets.
Most of all, I love the work of feeding my family and gathering people around the table. I believe feeding our people well is good work, and I want to share the recipes and cooking ideas that have become part of our everyday life.
That’s what you’ll find here: good food, practical recipes, and the things I’ve learned along the way.
