Lunch & Dinner Ideas
Lunch or dinner, I keep it simple. Sometimes it’s just a salad thrown together or yesterday’s sandwich warmed up. Other days I’ll slow down with soup on the stove or a plate of pasta for everyone to share. Easy or filling, meals like these remind me cooking doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to taste good.

Hi, I’m Emma. Cooking never felt natural at first, but I kept at it. Somewhere along the way, I combined my background in nutritional sciences with what I’d learned by burning (and sometimes saving) meals, and that turned into First Step Recipes.
