About So Yummy Meals

So Yummy Meals is a small recipe site with one goal: dinners you can make on an ordinary weeknight. Every recipe has a short ingredient list, clear times, step-by-step instructions and a recipe card you can print.

The editors

Each group of categories has its own editor. Our editors write under pen names; see the Editorial Policy.

• 
  Rachel GibsonCasseroles & slow cooker suppers

  Rachel plans the week around one big casserole and one crockpot dinner. She cooks for a family of four and keeps every recipe to ingredients from one grocery run.

• 
  Mark DonovanChicken & beef dinners

  I focus on filling main courses that anchor the evening meal. My grocery runs usually revolve around whatever cuts of meat are on sale that week.

• 
  Jason NguyenPasta, soups & sides

  Jason cooks the pots and pans side of the kitchen: pasta, big soups and the potatoes or vegetables that go next to everything else. He likes recipes that use one pot and leave leftovers.

• 
  Evelyn CarterBreakfast bakes & desserts

  Evelyn handles the sweet side of the kitchen and the slow weekend breakfasts. She weighs her flour and keeps butter on the counter so it is soft when she needs it.

How our recipes are written

• The recipe comes first. A short introduction, then the method, then a recipe card with quantities, times and notes. A "Jump to Recipe" button is at the top of every page.
• Standard, plain ingredients. Quantities are given in US measures with metric equivalents where it helps.
• Safe temperatures. Recipes with meat, poultry or eggs state the safe internal temperature. Use a food thermometer; color is not a reliable guide.
• Honest about how we work. Recipes are developed with the help of software tools and reviewed by an editor before they are published. We do not show star ratings or review counts we do not have.
