My Favourite Recipes

Welcome to My Favourite Recipes 💛

This little corner of Creating Calm Chaos is filled with the kinds of recipes that support real life - the busy seasons, the caregiving seasons, the grandkids visiting seasons, and the “I just need something simple and comforting” seasons too.

You’ll find easy homemade meals designed to make life feel a little calmer and a little easier. Many of these recipes are soft, nourishing and comforting, making them perfect for elderly parents, recovery meals or low appetite days. Others are freezer friendly to help with meal prep, busy family life or those days when cooking from scratch feels overwhelming.

You’ll also find toddler and kid-friendly recipes, simple comfort food meals, easy snacks, and some special baking recipes designed for making memories with the grandkids.

Some recipes may appear in more than one category - and that’s intentional. Real life overlaps. The same soft, comforting meal that works beautifully for an elderly parent might also be perfect for a toddler, a busy weeknight dinner or a freezer meal for later.

This isn’t about perfect cooking or complicated recipes.

It’s about practical, comforting food made for real people and real seasons of life.

Whether you’re caring for a loved one, feeding hungry grandkids, filling the freezer, or simply trying to make dinner a little easier tonight, I hope these recipes help bring a little comfort and calm to your home too.
