About Us

Welcome to From My Mom's Kitchen. I am Melissa Brown, the recipe creator and mom behind this little corner of the internet. For more than 15 years, slow cooker meals have been my way of keeping family life warm, simple, and delicious, even on the busiest days.

How It All Started

My love for slow cooking goes back to one very specific memory. I was about ten years old, coming home from school on a cold winter afternoon. The moment I opened the door, the smell of my mom's slow cooked beef stew filled the whole house. The windows were fogged up, the kitchen felt cozy, and I remember lifting the lid just to watch the steam rise. That feeling of comfort and home has stayed with me ever since, and it is the heart of how I cook today.

My Background

I have spent more than a decade and a half cooking for my family, testing recipes, and learning how to make slow cooker meals that are both practical and full of flavor. Over the years, I have taken several home cooking and recipe development workshops, including classes on slow cooker basics, flavor building, and family friendly meal planning. These experiences helped shape the simple and approachable style you will find in my recipes.

My Cooking Style

My cooking is built around three things:

• Simple steps
• Familiar, comforting flavors
• Recipes that fit into real life

Every dish on this site is tested in my own kitchen, usually with my kids giving their honest opinions.

What You Will Find Here

From My Mom's Kitchen focuses on slow cooker and crockpot recipes for families in the US, Canada, and other Western countries who enjoy classic, comforting meals. You will find:

• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas

My Mission

My goal is simple. I want to help families enjoy warm, home cooked meals without stress or complicated steps. I hope this site feels like a friendly voice in your kitchen, offering recipes that truly work and bring people together.

A Note From Me

Thank you for being here. From My Mom's Kitchen is more than a recipe site for me. It is a place to share the comfort and joy that slow cooking brought to my childhood home. I hope these recipes bring the same warmth to yours.

Melissa
