In the childhood memories of every good cook, there's a warm stove, a simmering pot and a mom.

I'm the Mom in Mommy's Kitchen


About me:

Hi, My name is Tina, I am a 43 year old Stay at Home Mother of three. My days are filled with raising kids, cleaning house, endless loads of laundry and most of all doing what I love cooking and baking. I rarely have any time to myself, but if I do get a chance you don't have to look far you can usually find me with my nose in a cookbook or in my kitchen baking something. The kitchen is the room in my house that I feel most comfortable in. Growing up I was raised on home cooked meals and eating together as a family. Now that I am a mom I try my best to do the same for my family. I currently live in Texas and I have to admit my Heart is in the South and all the good Old Southern Food that comes along with it, plus a little Tex Mex thrown in at times.

My Children share the same joy of cooking as I do, so I try to get them involved in the kitchen as much as possible. I am thankful that my mother taught me how to cook, so I want to do the same for my children. If you just give your children a chance, you will find out they can be a big help in the kitchen. Our family relies on one income, so eating out to often can be an expense that we just cannot afford. I believe, some families eat outside of the home entirely too much. The amount of money you spend on fast food definitely adds up quickly. I think a lot of people have forgotten how important it is to cook at home and eat together. I want to show my readers that they too can prepare great home cooked meals at home and bring families back to the table. I know myself and I learn through visualization. So I have set up my recipes with step by step directions and photo tutorials, this was anyone can follow along and learn.

In Mommy’s Kitchen, I truly believe that the kitchen is not only where family meals are prepared, but also where memories are made with your children to last a lifetime. Come inside my virtual kitchen and join me as I share a collection of all my favorite recipes. Nothing frilly and nothing fancy cause my kid's wont eat it, just good old fashioned everyday home cooking. There's nothing better than that! So...... find a place at the table and stay a while. You just might find something you like.


My Favorite Reads:

Cookbooks of course! I have a huge collection, but my favorite ones have to be my Paula Deen ones. I love watching her on The Food Network. Paula is a genuine southern girl at heart that cooks real comfort food with simple, not fussy uptight ingredients (my kind of meals). I also adore Gooseberry Patch and Vintage Cookbooks. I truly believe the way our grandmothers and mothers cooked is the best way to cook for your family.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your recipes and not only that but posting the pictures to go along with your recipes. I'm a very visual person so I found the perfect website to learn some neat dishes. I resently got married and planning to be a great cook for my hubby. I'm sure he'll also love your website since we like to learn different dishes and cook together.
