Hi! I’m Lea, and I’m the mom, recipe developer, and head cook here at Look My Recipes. My kitchen life is, in a word, busy—just like yours is!
I’m a proud parent of 3 Amazing kids and married to a wonderful husband who, thankfully, loves eating as much as I love cooking! Around here, dinnertime is central, but so is the chaos that comes with school, sports, work, and just plain life.
The Problem I Had (And Maybe You Do, Too!)
For years, I felt stuck. My family—especially my husband and kids—needed hearty, delicious meals, but I often found myself short on time and energy. Plus, with a history of family cooks like my grandma and grandpa who always made everything from scratch, I felt pressure to deliver quality food, but I couldn’t spend all day in the kitchen.
Then came the new appliances and the rise of specific dietary needs (like Low Carb and Keto), and suddenly, cooking felt more complicated than ever. I was juggling a Slow Cooker here, an Instant Pot there, and trying to track net carbs all at once!
The Look My Recipes Solution
That’s why I created Look My Recipes.
This blog is my solution—and hopefully yours—to that exact problem. It’s a curated collection of tested family meals that are grouped into the specific categories we need:
- Appliance Power: Recipes that prove you can make amazing food with almost no hands-on time using the Crock-Pot/Slow Cooker and Instant Pot.
- Smart Eating: Focused recipes that make Keto and Low Carb lifestyles simple, accessible, and most importantly, delicious enough that the whole family will eat them.
I share recipes that honor the tradition of my grandparents’ home cooking but are adapted for the speed and simplicity required by a modern family. Every recipe is a simple answer to the daily question: “What’s for dinner?”
We are thrilled to have you here! Now, let’s get cooking!
