Know Me Better

I’m a busy dad with kids, and I’m always looking for tips and ways to do things better, especially to free up time for what’s really important. That’s the Guardian/Creative in me.

I want my family to be a priority, but the constant demands of making food sometimes gets in the way, especially with kids that are always hungry. Here, I’m focused on simple, but satisfying recipes.

At the same time, food can be a natural way to connect with your family. We can learn to make our favorites together, while teaching the kids how to make their own food. We also enjoy trying new food and discovering how to make them.

In the process, I’m trying to understand my kids (and my wife) better. That might be knowing that my son favors savory foods like steak, or that my daughter is a Creative and likes to travel. That way, I can do my best for them, not just what’s good for me, as we decide on activities like soccer and ballet and work up to big choices like college.
