From our family’s kitchen to yours.

Comfort food. Real life. Made with love.

What began as simple weeknight cooking for our family has grown into something far bigger — a community built around comfort, connection, and meals that feel like home.

Hi, I’m Kim Alexander — creator of HomeCookBlog and author of Stay for Dinner.

HomeCookBlog started the same way many great family traditions do: with busy days, hungry kids, and a deep desire to put something warm and comforting on the table — without stress.

Between homeschooling our daughters, running our kitchen studio, and constantly testing new recipes, every dish I share comes straight from real family life. These aren’t just recipes — they’re meals we actually live with, return to, and build memories around.

For me, food has always been about connection.

It’s about gathering around the table, laughing between bites, sharing stories from the day, and knowing that even the simplest meal can bring everyone together. Those everyday moments are where life really happens — and dinner is often at the center of it.

That belief is the heart of everything we do.

On HomeCookBlog, I share the recipes that carry our family through the week:

Easy 30-minute dinners

One-pan meals

Air fryer favorites

Cozy comfort food you’ll actually want to make again

And with my first cookbook, Stay for Dinner, I brought those same feel-good meals straight from our kitchen to yours — designed to make cooking less overwhelming and dinner something you look forward to again.

HomeCookVibe is the natural next chapter of that journey.

It’s where everything comes together — our recipes, our kitchen philosophy, and our belief that dinner doesn’t have to be stressful to be meaningful.

Through HomeCookVibe, we’re able to offer:

Thoughtfully planned meal systems

Chef-crafted recipes inspired by our community

Fresh, locally prepared meals for families who need a little extra support during busy seasons

Everything we create is built with the same intention: to help families eat well, feel connected, and enjoy dinner again.

Whether you’re here for inspiration, family dinner ideas, easy meal solutions, or simply to rediscover the joy of home cooking — welcome.
