A Cozy Corner for Home Cooks
Hi, I’m Emily Amanda! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m just a home cook who fell in love with feeding the people around me, and this is the little corner of the internet where I get to share the recipes I actually make in my own kitchen. Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee, and stay a while—I’d love to get to know you.
Hey! Welcome to Recipes by GooTasty
I’m not a chef and I’ve never worked in a restaurant. I’m a mom, a daughter, a granddaughter, and someone who genuinely believes that a home-cooked meal is one of the best ways to say “I love you.” Everything I share here comes from my own kitchen, my own family, and a whole lot of trial and error—so you can cook it with confidence.
OUR MISSION
Designed to Inspire, Made to Enjoy
More than anything, I want cooking to feel easy and unintimidating for you. My hope is that you leave here with a recipe you’re excited to try, the confidence to make it your own, and maybe a new favorite for your family’s dinner table.
- Clear, step-by-step instructions
- Beginner-friendly family meals
- Modern, delicious recipes
- A stress-free creative experience
My Journey
- My love for cooking started when I was little, dragging a chair up to the counter so I could “help” my mom and grandmother. I’d stir the pots, sneak tastes, and listen to them talk while dinner came together. That warm, busy kitchen is still my happiest place, and it’s where I learned that good food doesn’t have to be fancy—it just has to be made with love.
- I learned to cook the way most of us do: one simple family meal at a time. As I got older I started scribbling down our family recipes so I wouldn’t lose them, then couldn’t resist tinkering—adding a little of this, swapping a little of that—until a dish felt just right. Experimenting in the kitchen quickly became my favorite way to unwind.
- For years I only cooked for the people I loved, but they kept telling me I should write my recipes down and share them. After enough gentle nudging from friends and family, I finally did—and that’s how Recipes by GooTasty was born. It’s simply my way of passing along the easy, comforting food I make every week.
Our Cooking Philosophy
Cook with Intention
I’m happiest making the food I grew up on—cozy comfort food, bubbling casseroles, and hearty family meals that fill the house with good smells and bring everyone to the table.
Recipes for Every Cook
From quick weeknight dinners to simple everyday recipes and the homemade desserts I can never say no to, I try to share something for every craving and every busy week.
Mindful Cooking
Most of all, I cook with real, everyday ingredients and no fuss—because the best part of any meal is getting to share it with the people you love.
