Home Cooked Harvest
Welcome friends! I’m Tristin, the food lover behind Home Cooked Harvest. As a busy mom, I enjoy recipes that are quick and fuss-free, especially on week days. So, I wanted to bring you some meal ideas like these easy cheese enchiladas that are easy enough to make on those nights when you are running low on time, as well as some that can be utilized when you have more time on your hands like these impressive stuffed poblano peppers.
Here at HomeCookedHarvest.com I try to cook as healthy as I can while still keeping our meals delicious and for the most part, family friendly. I try to squeeze in as many fruits and veggies as I can into our home cooked meals. I am also an avid believer of living life in balance, and that’s why dessert is a definite must-have around here. Luckily, I have a love of baking and as a result, you will find lots sweet recipes here also!!
I really enjoy using kitchen appliances that make cooking a little easier (and more fun!). I especially love my air fryer, it cooks food so much faster than traditional methods. Try this air fryer chicken breast or london broil. My slow cooker and my instant pot are also both near and dear to my heart.
Joining me on the Home Cooked Harvest team is my #1 recipe taste tester, (my husband), and our two little chefs-in-training. My kids enjoy helping me in the kitchen especially if I’m making something sweet. It’s guaranteed that there will be spoon licking, flour on every surface, and plenty of dishes. But, those are the days I cherish most of all, those beautiful chocolate covered memories!!
Some Fun Facts about Me:
