Jeff & Michelle + Charlie, Dottie, Effie & Jack
Neither one of us was a great cook when we got married. We existed mostly on takeout, with the occasional meal in a bag or frozen pizza to fill in the blanks. That started to change after our first child, and by the time we hit number three, takeout really wasn’t an option anymore. We began to find ourselves in the kitchen more often than not, scratching our heads and scouring google for what to make for dinner. What we realized, is that while there are some excellent recipe sites out there, a lot of them aren’t great, with endless ads, terrible instructions and food that just didn’t hit right. So we started developing our own recipes, playing around with flavors and ingredients and doing our own thing. Over the years we put together some great recipes and added some more from family and friends.
Now we’re here to share what we’ve learned over the years with you. To give you delicious recipes, with great instructions, and even a pathway to follow to build your kitchen skills if you have none!
Welcome to our Kitchen Affliction!
Our goal isn’t to just give you a recipe. It’s to give you our hard won knowledge. We’ve already made the mistakes so you don’t have to.
A little bit more about Jeff
I spent quite a bit of time travelling the country in my late 20’s and early 30’s, mostly for work. My favorite part of this wasn’t the new sites, or the people, or the landmarks. Those were cool for sure, but I judged each new city I visited solely on it’s food and restaurants! The memories I cherish most from my traveling days are the dishes I got to enjoy! I started cooking so I could enjoy
Food photography
I also developed a love for food photography along the process and learned how to make regular meals appear as nice as they taste.
All of the food images you see on the website are mine.
