The Wooden Skillet
Real Food Recipes for Everyday Life
Welcome
Hey There! I’m Erin – the lawyer-turned-blogger (a/k/a recipe developer, photographer, editor-in-chief) who is passionate about helping YOU get simple, real-food recipes on your table!
Real-Food Recipes: Welcome to The Wooden Skillet! Our all-female team is here to help you make dinner exciting and fresh with reliable, balanced recipes. The goal is to help you put meals on your table that are made with simple, unprocessed foods; ingredients you can actually pronounce and recipes that are easy to follow. Under this “umbrella” of real-food recipes we also create a ton of Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Plant-Based recipes, plus some that are also Whole30 and Paleo. So whichever route you took to get here – we are so happy to have you!
Balance: We also believe in balance here at The Wooden Skillet, so you will also find a handful of cocktails (and mocktails), desserts and even a few family favorite recipes that are meant for special celebrations.
Community: Finally, part of our brand is building a community to share cooking basics, how-to’s, tutorials, to help everyone feel confident in the kitchen, using a grill, smoker, or Blackstone. We are so excited to have you join us! See more about our community on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, and/or Substack (where we even offer exclusive, ad-free recipes that can’t be found here).
Your Journey
The Wooden Skillet is here to help you get excited about dinner! Whether you are interested in finding your food freedom with real food recipes, need recipes tailored to a specific diet restriction (i.e. dairy, gluten, etc) or you just need to get out of that “what’s for dinner” rut – we are here to HELP, INSPIRE and SUPPORT you along the way! Feel free to explore the recipe index for meal inspiration, the resource section for more in-depth support and the below “What Is… Series” to further explore some of the different diet-specific topics!
