This Farm Girl Cooks started in 2016 as a place for busy, real-life families who want to feed their families well without losing their mind over what's for dinner. Around here, the philosophy is cooking for those we love should be doable, while using ingredients from the plain old grocery store.
If you've ever stood in front of the refrigerator wondering what's for dinner, this recipe website is for you!
What you'll find here
At its heart, This Farm Girl Cooks is all about simple meals that work in real life. Perfection isn't the goal here. Using regular ingredients you already have in your pantry is.
Here you'll find:
- Quick and easy recipes made with everyday ingredients.
- Freezer meals and make ahead options for busy weeks, harvest season and everything in between.
- One pot, slow cooker, air fryer and Instant Pot meals that save time and more importantly, dishes.
- Comfort food with a twist, because cozy and easy can go hand in hand.
Oh, and dessert. Everything in moderation, as they say.
More than Recipes
While recipes are the backbone of this site, This Farm Girl Cooks goes beyond what's on the plate.
You'll also see conversations about:
- Simplifying meals without guilt. 🙋♀️
- Managing the mental load that comes with feeding a family and acting as CEO of a household.
- Finding and establishing rhythms that work for real life, busy households and changing seasons.

Hi, I’m Deanne — farm wife, food blogger, and the voice behind This Farm Girl Cooks. What started as trying to answer “what’s for dinner?” for hungry farmers turned into a community of busy families looking for practical meals that actually work in real life.
Who This Site is For
- Rural moms and farm wives, but suburban wives and anyone in between can find value in these recipes!
- Busy moms and caregivers. Btw, have you ever met one who wasn't busy? Didn't think so.
- People who want helpful, but not preachy. No judgement here...
The bottom line is, you don't need to be a farm girl to be here, you just have to love keeping things real.
