The Heart Behind Golden Simmer
From my cozy Midwest kitchen to yours—discover the story, the spills, and the golden moments that inspired this blog.
HI, I’M AMANDA!
Why I Started Golden Simmer
Golden Simmer began with a simple wish: to make home cooking feel joyful, not stressful. I grew up in a kitchen where the scent of cinnamon rolls meant love, and a bubbling pot of soup meant comfort after a long day. As a busy mom and food lover, I wanted to share recipes that bring those golden moments to your table—no matter how hectic life gets.
Here, you’ll find approachable recipes, clever kitchen tips, and a sprinkle of encouragement for cooks of every level. My mission? To help you create memories, one simmer at a time.

A Few Golden Truths
I believe the best recipes are the ones that bring people together—whether it’s a bubbling pot of chili on a snowy night or a tray of gooey brownies after a long week. My kitchen is rarely spotless, my apron is usually dusted with flour, and my favorite moments are the ones where laughter and good food fill the air.
If you’re looking for perfection, you won’t find it here. But if you’re searching for warmth, encouragement, and a little golden magic, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the family!
