Welcome to Eat at Mom's!

We feel passionate about good food.  Not just good tasting food (although believe me, we like to EAT), but food that is good for us with fresh and whole ingredients.  The diets of most Americans consist fast food, processed blandness, convenience cooking, and eating out. When we started our own families, we knew that we wanted to feed them better food, but how? 

Each of us arrived at our own particular style of cooking in different ways.   Cheri is our gourmet, although you’d never hear her say that.  She can cook anything from melt in your mouth ribs to delicate crepes and sauces that have you asking her for the recipe.  To which she always says, “Oh I just threw it together….”  Amy defines herself as more of a meat and potatoes gal.  She grew up in a family where there was always a meat, starch, and veggie on the plate and tends to gravitate towards that style.  That combined with a husband who thinks that a dinner with no meat is highly suspect has molded her cooking to include old favorites like chicken pot pie, meatloaf, and pizza night to name a few.  Kristin tends to be our creative muse.  Going to Kristin’s house is always a treat for the senses.  First, she is a crafty little lady.  So you never know what sort of outrageous project in progress she is going to whip out.  This incredible creativity spills over into her cooking.  She can make food out of things that most people would never think of.  

We met at a time in our lives when we all had small kids and we all had the same question:  How do we feed our kids wholesome healthy food that we’ll all love?  Thus began our friendship started over a love of food and humor.  Whilst our kids ran off and hopefully didn’t drown in the pool or set anything on fire, we gabbed in the kitchen over our latest creation.  Potluck lunches became the norm.  If someone was trying out a new bread recipe, guess who got to try it first! Leftovers from last night turned into a delicious soup?  We’ll eat it!  At the time, we didn’t know that there was anything special about what we were doing, we were all just feeding our families.   But people kept asking, “Can I have the recipe for this?”  And we began to wonder doesn’t everyone know how to do this?  Slowly we began to realize that somewhere along the way, our generation has lost the arts of our mothers and grandmothers.  We need to relearn and find a new appreciation for cooking and creativity in the kitchen.  The three of us have learned that we do have something special and we want to empower others with what we've learned. 

We have decided that our fabulousness must be shared with the world and therefore, we’ve decided to write our own cookbook and blog!  Enjoy!
