About
Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures is all about sharing my love of cooking, recipes, tips, and ideas of how I combine this cooking passion with a busy life.
Cooking in short order
I love to cook and bake, and it is a good thing, because my family loves to eat. I am always trying new recipes and experimenting with different foods, but my time is limited. I wish I had all day to spend in the kitchen, but I am busy mom.
With my three kids and husband, I live on 43 acres in Northeastern Oklahoma. Between homeschooling, helping in my husband’s dental office, working on our property, taking care of three dogs, and raising hogs as a side job/hobby, I am constantly on the go like most of you.
Real food, for real people
This site is a true picture of my kitchen life. I post about what we are really eating. I try to be healthy, but I will admit many times life happens, and I mix in some not so healthy things. I do not cook gourmet, fancy food full of exotic ingredients. This is real food with everyday ingredients.
Making it better at home
Some of the things I love to make are homemade versions of our favorite foods. They are not only healthier, but are much less expensive than store bought or restaurant food. From Panera broccoli soup and mock Orange Julius to Chipotle-style beans and rice and homemade enchilada and taco sauce, I love to make our favorite foods at home.

Follow along in my Cooking Basics and Kitchen Essentials series as I share what I have learned and what tips work for me. My Cookbook Collection series highlights the cooking resources I’ve found to be most helpful.
Food Challenges
In 2009, after years of health issues, I was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. Then in early 2010, my oldest daughter was diagnosed with a life threatening peanut, tree nut, and sesame allergy.
I wanted Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures to stay the same. I still love to bake and cook and my husband and son have no food issues, so in many ways my cooking has really not changed at all. I continue to share ideas, tips, and recipes with you.
But, I found over time that I also wanted to share our new journey with food allergies and issues; so I started a separate section of my site for food allergies, called Lynn’s Recipe Adventures.

I just saw your site today and I love it. I can’t wait to try some of your recipes. We picked blueberries recently and were planning to make blueberry pancakes on Saturday morning and now I am craving them b/c of your picture!
@Kristy, I am so glad that you found my site. I hope you enjoy the recipes and I appreciate you taking the time to read and try my recipes.

I’ve only recently discovered you- I think it was the homemade mocha frap that did it! I’m enjoying your site and have tried several of your recipes. Thanks for doing what you do!
I just found you! My husband has been complaining ALOT lately about my ‘dull & bland/tasteless’ food. I don’t think he will be complaining much longer! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.
@Janet, I am so glad that you found my site and are enjoying it. Thank you for letting me know.
Hey. I checked out your site. And the food looks good and tasty. Hope you keep this up=]
Hi Lynn. I just found your site and I must say I am quite impressed! I look forward to visiting you often and trying out some of your delicious looking recipes! And maybe you might just like a few of mine. I am all about cooking for my family who, like yours, love to eat and I am always looking for new ideas for “what to cook for dinner”! So glad I found you!
I came to your site from $5 Dinners and copied so many recipes to try that I decided I better sign up and be on your email list! We are Native Texans and pass through Oklahoma on our way to Texas to visit family and friends since we live farther north now. We love driving through the smaller towns of eastern OK on our way south. Can’t wait to try some of your recipes I just printed out. Thanks for sharing.
@Donna, I am so glad that you found my site and thanks for subscribing! I hope you enjoy my recipes and thanks for reading.
I absolutely love your blog and all the easy “down-to-earth” recipes and cooking advice. I stumbled across this today and am so happy I did. In the CrockPot right now is chicken breast with green sauce for tacos tonight. Thanks so much
@Tamarha, I am so glad that you found my site. I hope you enjoy the chicken tacos!
would love to have your whole wheat bread recipe. I’m looking for one that is light and not hard. Thanks I love your website and have used other recipes. Going to try the whole wheat waffles tonight.
Loved this web-site. Very helpful. I’m doing weight watchers and love to find new recipes.
Love your recipes. I’m doing weight watchers and love to find new recipes.
Lynn,
So happy to have found your site via Shirley (GFE)! In her recent “In the News” post, I sought out those I have not yet had the pleasure of “meeting”.
Your style matches mine, and reminds me of my April dinners (sadly coming to a close this week) – I’m giving a month of real life meals gluten-dairy-nut-soy-free – hits & misses.
I know I’ll be back to visit your gorgeous site!!
xo,
Gigi
Gigi´s last blog ..Now Gigi Serves Dinner! Tuesday
@Gigi, Thank you! I love Shirley’s site and am so glad that you found me through her and have enjoyed my site. I am “newer” to the gluten free world and am having so much fun finding new gluten free sites. I can’t wait to look around your site. Thanks for stopping by and thank you for reading!
I just found this website this morning, because I needed some recipes for a lunch thing I am doing. I couldn’t find ANY recipes for homemade pudding that fit what I needed, until I came here. also, some of your veggie dishes look like something BOTH of my friends will eat, and I need a lot of tasty vegetables because my one of my two friends is a vegetarian. Thank you so very much. Please keep up the great blog!
@Meredith, Thank you! I am glad that you found me site and I hope you enjoy the recipes. Thank you for reading!
Hi Lynn, I was searching the web for homemade taco sauce and there you go I found you. The Sauce is amazing! I loved it !!! Its even better then store bought.I love your recipes and plan on visiting your blog often. Your style matches mine,and I do homeschooling with my kids too.I try to avoid cooking or baking from the box and like to do everything from scratch.Thanks for sharing some wonderful recipes.
@nadia, I am so glad that you found my site and enjoyed the taco sauce. Thanks for letting me know. I hope you enjoy my tips and recipes. Thanks for reading!
I love your site. My son has celiac disease and cannot tolerate gluten. I am hearing so many people with this severe allergy and request that you do more with this. It would be a great place to come for ideas of what to cook gluten free.
Thanks.
