Meet Ange
Hi, I'm Ange!
I'm a teacher, home cook, wife and mum to two teenage girls. So I know firsthand just how chaotic life can get after school, work, sport and everything in between. That late-afternoon rush can feel overwhelming, especially when everyone’s hungry and tired. That’s exactly why I’ve developed a collection of simple, delicious recipes that help take the stress out of mealtime.
Growing up on a sugar cane farm in Mackay, food was always at the heart of our family. I have fond memories of big gatherings around the table, sharing stories, laughs and homemade meals. That spirit of connection through food is something I’ve carried into my own kitchen and it’s what inspired me to start sharing recipes online.
Here on my website, you’ll find easy, family-friendly meals using everyday ingredients you can grab at your local supermarket. These recipes are designed with the busy home cook in mind: they’re budget-friendly, quick to make and full of real ingredients (no fancy extras required). Whether you’re exhausted after a long day or just want dinner on the table fast, these meals will help you go from frazzled to cool, calm and collected.
Thank you for being here. Let’s keep making those beautiful mealtime memories - without the stress.
