Welcome to Randy's Kitchen

I'm Randy. I like good food, recipes that work, and making dinner at home. These are the things I actually cook in my kitchen, written down so I can make them again — and so you can too.

FROM MY KITCHEN

Food I Actually Make

I don't believe dinner has to be complicated to be worth making. Most nights I'm looking for something satisfying, dependable and good enough that I'll want it again next week.

Every recipe here is meant for a real home kitchen. If I tell you to cook something for twelve minutes, it's because that's how long I cook it.

MEET RANDY

Hi, I'm Randy.

I live in suburban Illinois with my dog and spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen. I started Randy's Kitchen to keep track of the recipes I like and share them with anybody who might enjoy them too.

Nothing fancy. Just good food from my kitchen.
