Mommy Hates Cooking

I’m Kristy! I’m the creator, recipe developer, and let’s-be-honest… chaos manager behind Mommy Hates Cooking. I’m a wife, a mom, a gluten-free foodie, and a firm believer that dinnertime shouldn’t be stressful, even if you don’t love to cook. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t either when I started!) This whole journey began when I became a stay-at-home mom and realized I needed to feed my growing family something besides drive-thru and cereal. But here’s the thing: I wasn’t a natural in the kitchen. I kind of hated it. That’s where Mommy Hates Cooking was born, out of necessity, real life, and a whole lot of trial and error. Now, years (and many messes) later, I share simple, family-friendly recipes, with a big focus on gluten-free options, quick meals, Ninja Foodi meals, and air fryer magic. I love helping other moms discover that you don’t have to be a chef to make something amazing. If I can do it, you can too. Whether you’re brand new to cooking, navigating a gluten-free lifestyle, or just trying to get dinner on the table without losing your mind, this is the place for you.
