Real Food Simply Made!
Hi there! I am Anne, recipe creator, and the voice behind Simple and Savory! I help busy home cooks whip up healthy meals.
About Simple and Savory
At Simple and Savory, you’ll find easy, wholesome recipes made with real ingredients. Every recipe comes with variations to help you get creative, mix and match, and make it your own based on your taste or what’s in your kitchen. I believe cooking should be simple, fun, and a way to express your creativity. As a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I’m passionate about making healthy cooking something everyone can enjoy and feel great about!
My approach to cooking
If complicated recipes are leaving you stressed and uninspired, I am here to change that! My mission is to empower you, the home cook with easy, nutritious recipes that are simple to prepare and adaptable!
Here is what you will find:
- Healthy, Delicious Recipes: Quick and easy to follow, my recipes are made with wholesome everyday ingredients.
- Customizable Creations: Every recipe includes optional variations allowing you to customize and add your own touch to each dish.

My Food Philosophy
- Whole Foods, Real Flavor: I believe in cooking with minimally processed, locally sourced ingredients. If you don’t have access to local food, no worries! My recipes are flexible and will still deliver delicious, nutritious results.
- Mindful Sweetness: I use natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup, always with a light touch. Feel free to adjust to your taste!
- Balanced Indulgence: Even though I love healthy food, I also enjoy indulgent foods. My recipes feature healthier twists on classic ingredients, providing you with healthy options. This recipe for almond toffee crunch is a perfect example of a healthier version of indulgence.

Beyond the Recipes
I’ve been around food my whole life. I grew up on a farm in New Jersey, where farm-to-table wasn’t just a trendy phrase—it was just how we lived. Those early days gave me a real love for fresh, wholesome ingredients. In addition to my recipes, explore my Food FAQs and How to Guides for more kitchen inspiration!
About My Photos
I am not a photographer. I’m here for the food! I make all of the recipes and photograph them myself so that you can get an idea of how the food will actually look when you prepare it at home.

What others are saying
“You’re a lifesaver. These quick dinner recipes are fantastic. My partner and I changed our eating habits to a vegetarian based on fish or chicken 5 weeks ago and we feel so much better. I do appreciate the help of your quick recipes thank you.” -Christine
“I’ve eaten this dish many times in NJ. Searched for the best recipe and yours makes the most sense and tastes the most authentic. Thanks!” – Bob
Questions I’m often asked
I am not a big fan of following recipes and like to cook without documenting every detail. However, when friends and family asked me for the recipe, I found it difficult to remember all the steps unless I made the dish again. To solve this problem, I created Simple and Savory, a platform to record and share my favorite recipes with others.
There are a lot of favorites on Simple and Savory, but the ones I make the most often, are my beef and vegetable stew, bison chili and turkey burgers.
No, they do not, but many recipes on Simple and Savory fit into the Mediterranean diet and most have suggested adaptations for specific diets. I believe in everything in moderation!
Look around, and I hope you choose a recipe or two to try!
