I’m Lisa Schneider, the creator behind this blog, and I am thrilled to have you here. Whether you’re new to cooking or a seasoned home chef, my goal is to provide you with simple, easy-to-follow recipes that make everyday meals a breeze.
As a registered dietitian with a passion for food, I understand how important it is to find a balance between tasty, nutritious meals and the busy pace of life. That’s exactly why I started Simple Food Dishes—to make home cooking easy, fun, and approachable for everyone, regardless of their skill level in the kitchen.
Who I Am
My name is Lisa Schneider, and I’ve been passionate about food for as long as I can remember. Growing up in New York City, surrounded by diverse cultures and cuisines, I developed an early love for experimenting in the kitchen. Whether it was trying out new recipes or putting my own twist on traditional dishes, cooking became my creative outlet.
Over the years, this passion led me to pursue a career in nutrition. I studied to become a registered dietitian, and now I use my knowledge of nutrition to help others enjoy a healthy relationship with food. I believe that cooking at home shouldn’t be overwhelming or time-consuming—it should be enjoyable and rewarding.
When I’m not in the kitchen, you can find me exploring the local farmer’s markets, trying out new restaurants in New York, or spending time with my family and friends. I’m a firm believer that food brings people together, and that’s something I try to emphasize in everything I do.

I believe that home-cooked meals are not only healthier but also more satisfying and affordable. Through this blog, I aim to take the stress out of cooking and make it something you look forward to.

The vision behind Simple Food Dishes is to create a community of home cooks who feel confident and inspired in the kitchen.

Why Simple Recipes?
I believe that simple recipes are the key to making cooking accessible to everyone. Too often, people are discouraged from cooking at home because they think it’s too complicated, too time-consuming, or requires too many ingredients. My goal is to change that mindset.
By focusing on recipes that use common ingredients and straightforward techniques, I want to show you that cooking doesn’t have to be hard. Simple doesn’t mean boring—there’s so much you can do with just a few ingredients and a little creativity. From quick stir-fries to hearty pasta dishes, the recipes here are designed to be both satisfying and achievable.
What Makes Simple Food Dishes Different?
There are plenty of food blogs out there, so what makes Simple Food Dishes different? It’s the focus on simplicity and accessibility. I’m not here to give you complex gourmet meals that require hours in the kitchen. Instead, I want to offer recipes that anyone can make, regardless of their experience or how busy their schedule is.
Some key features that set Simple Food Dishes apart include:
- Easy-to-Find Ingredients: All of the recipes on this blog use ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store. There’s no need to hunt down specialty items or buy things you’ll only use once.
- Time-Saving Techniques: Many of my recipes include tips for speeding up the cooking process, so you can get dinner on the table in no time. Whether it’s using one-pot cooking or prepping ingredients in advance, I aim to make things as efficient as possible.
- Balanced Nutrition: As a registered dietitian, I care about the health aspect of food. While my recipes aren’t overly restrictive, I do focus on providing balanced meals that include a variety of nutrients. You’ll find a mix of healthy options and indulgent treats, so there’s something for everyone.
- Customization: My recipes are flexible and can be easily adapted to suit your preferences or dietary needs. Whether you need to make a dish gluten-free, vegetarian, or lower in calories, I provide suggestions for how to modify recipes without compromising flavor.
