The story about
our tHIS Honest Food
Hi! I’m Lisa , the home cook behind This Honest Food. I believe in easy, real-life recipes that bring people together — and yes, always involve butter.
How It Started
It all began in my tiny kitchen with a borrowed pan, a big craving, and zero clue what I was doing. I burned the first pancake—but I fell in love with cooking. Since then, I’ve been chasing flavor, feeding family, and turning everyday meals into something worth sharing.
When I Fell in Love With Food
It wasn’t a fancy restaurant or a perfect recipe — it was my mom’s soup on a rainy afternoon. One bite, and I realized food could comfort, connect, and tell a story. That moment made me want to create meals that do the same for others.

A Little Story About Us


My husband is the kind of guy who “just came to taste one bite” — and somehow ends up finishing the whole dish. He’s my biggest cheerleader, my toughest critic, and the one who always volunteers to do the dishes (bless him).
Our dog? He’s the real kitchen boss. If something hits the floor, he’s already there before I can blink. He’s taste-tested more scraps than I can admit — and somehow still thinks every meal is made just for him.
