about Vic's Mom's Kitchen


I started this blog to make it easy for my kids to make the same quick, economical, tasty and healthy food as they got at home.

But you will find more than favorite family recipes here.

There are also pages on:


menu planning for healthy eating

how to save money and buy a month's worth of meals

what basics to have on hand to make stuff from scratch

basic cooking tips

about cooking utensils, pots and pans

how to keep stuff and how long it will keep

seasoning foods



VMK is simple no frills with no frills cooking. (There are a few recipes fancy enough to use for entertaining) I try to keep things healthy and nutritionally balanced, but I won't sacrifice taste. Most meals will serve two and many make enough for four and are ones that are good leftover for the next day.
My kitchen is too small for a MW so there are not many MW instructions, but these recipes usually take me around 30 min using the stove or oven.
These recipes don't use any small kitchen appliances that plug in. No mixers or blenders.

peace and love
