ABOUT


My name is Mary and I love white dishes, funky forks, used books, fresh vegetables and dark chocolate. I am the Food Writer, Blogger and Photographer here for Barefeet In The Kitchen. The bare feet in my kitchen belong to my three boys and me. We spend a lot of time in our kitchen; whether we are baking, cooking, learning or playing.

I love to cook real foods, as simply as possible. I prefer to use fresh ingredients and I cook from scratch the majority of the time. It is my hope to inspire others to cook more and eat better without spending all of their time in the kitchen.

I keep my ingredients basic and I typically cook using what is already in my home. For more information on the ingredients that I use, you can see what is in my pantry here. I meal plan and use my freezer as an extension of my pantry. If I can double a recipe and freeze a future meal, a snack, breads or a dessert for later, that makes me happy.

In the fall of 2011, one of my children developed a gluten sensitivity. In the time since, I have worked to convert and develop recipes for gluten free breads and sweets that taste as delicious as their traditional counterparts.

All photographs on this blog are taken by me, unless otherwise noted. The recipes here have all been tested and the original source is always noted where applicable. If you have tried one of my recipes, please tell me! I would love to mention you on my Featured Links page. 

If you would like to contact me, I can be found on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest. I can also be reached at barefeetinthekitchen @ gmail . com
