Hi, I’m Evelyn,
A 40‑year‑old home cook, wife, and mom to two amazing girls, 19 and 15. Together with my husband, Mateo, a 55‑year‑old chef, we believe food is love, served one simple, comforting meal at a time.
WhatToCook.blog was born out of our real life: busy weekdays, hungry teenagers, tight schedules, and the constant question, “What should we cook tonight?” I focus on practical, family‑friendly recipes that are easy to follow, don’t require fancy skills, and use ingredients you can find at any US grocery store.
On this blog, you’ll find:
- Simple weeknight dinners you can actually pull off after a long day
- Nourishing recipes that feel comforting, not complicated
- Budget‑conscious meals that make the most of what you already have at home
- Step‑by‑step instructions so you feel confident in the kitchen
Mateo brings his professional chef experience, and I bring the reality of cooking for a family with different tastes, busy schedules, and not enough time. Together, we test and tweak recipes until they work in a normal home kitchen, not just a restaurant.
Our goal is to help you answer “what’s for dinner?” with less stress and more joy. If you believe, like we do, that the best memories are made around the table, you’re in the right place.
Let’s cook something loving, simple, and delicious together.
