About Simply Grandma Recipes

Our Mission

Bring the warmth of Grandma’s kitchen into everyday home cooking.

• Share cozy, reliable recipes that feel nostalgic but are easy enough for weeknights.
• Use ingredients you can find in a regular grocery store—no special trips required.
• Explain the “why” behind key steps, so you feel more confident each time you cook.

Editorial & Testing Standards

How we keep recipes trustworthy and repeatable.

1. Recipe research & planning. We look at classic versions, family traditions, and modern shortcuts, then outline tests.
2. Kitchen testing. Each recipe is cooked in a real home kitchen—no restaurant equipment or special tools required.
3. Timing & texture checks. We pay attention to doneness cues (color, texture, smell) so you’re not relying only on the clock.
4. Clarity edits & photos. Instructions are rewritten until you can skim them. When helpful, we include clear photos of the finished dish.
5. Notes & substitutions. We list tested swaps and variations inside each post so you can adapt to your pantry.
6. Ongoing updates. If readers leave helpful feedback, we retest and update the post with extra tips or clarifications.

Corrections: If you ever spot a typo, confusing instruction, or possible error, please reach out through the contact page. We review and correct issues promptly.

Ingredients, Measurements & Equipment

• Measurements. Most recipes use U.S. cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons. When precision matters (like baking), we may include gram weights.
• Ingredient swaps. Only substitutions that have been tested and tasted are listed in the post. Unlisted swaps may change texture or timing.
• Pans & ovens. We assume standard home ovens and common pan sizes. If convection or air fry times differ, we’ll note it in the recipe.
• Food safety. For dishes with meat, poultry, or eggs, we include doneness cues and temperatures where appropriate.

Accessibility & Community

Everyone should feel welcome in this kitchen.

• Plain-language steps and skimmable instructions for all experience levels.
• Alt text on images and descriptive link text wherever possible.
• A friendly, moderated comment section—helpful feedback and questions are encouraged; unkind or promotional comments are removed.
