Cooking Wells

Hello and welcome to CookingWells.com—your cozy corner of the internet for wholesome, fuss‑free recipes that actually work in real home kitchens!

Our Story

Hi, I’m Mia Miller—food lover, self‑taught cook, and Pacific Northwest native. I launched CookingWells in 2019 from my tiny apartment kitchen in Hillsboro, Oregon. What started as a weekend hobby documenting family favorites quickly blossomed into a thriving community of home cooks who believe good food doesn’t have to be complicated—or expensive.

Growing up, I spent Sundays in my grandmother’s kitchen learning how to turn garden veggies into comforting meals. Her motto was simple: “Cook well, live well.” CookingWells is my way of passing that legacy forward, one recipe and one story at a time.

What You’ll Find Here

  • Tested Recipes – Every dish is cooked (often multiple times) in my home kitchen before it hits the blog. If it doesn’t pass the “picky‑eater test,” it doesn’t get published.

  • Step‑by‑Step Photos & Videos – No more guessing what “until creamy” looks like. Clear visuals guide you every step of the way.

  • Ingredient Swaps & Dietary Notes – Whether you’re gluten‑free, vegan, or just cooking with what’s on hand, we’ve got substitution tips.

  • Budget‑Friendly Tips – From bulk‑buy hacks to freezer‑friendly meals, we focus on maximizing flavor without stretching your wallet.

  • Seasonal Inspiration – We cook with the seasons to keep ingredients fresh, local, and sustainable whenever possible.

Our Mission

To empower home cooks to create nourishing, delicious meals—no chef hat required.

We believe cooking at home can be:

  1. Accessible – Simple instructions and common grocery‑store ingredients.

  2. Joyful – Food should bring people together around the table.

  3. Sustainable – Respecting ingredients, minimizing waste, and supporting local producers.
