Hey there, I’m Lucy!
Hey there, I’m Lucy Anderson! I’m the home cook behind CooksByLucy, and honestly? I started this whole thing because I was SO tired of recipes that don’t actually work. I used to be terrible at cooking – like, spending my whole paycheck on weird ingredients just to mess it up and eat cereal for dinner again. But then I had this lightbulb moment: what if recipes could just work with normal ingredients, without needing a culinary degree? That’s exactly what you’ll find here – simple, tested recipes that busy families actually want to make, using stuff you probably already have in your kitchen!
