About

Hi There! I’m Stephanie Miller – Your Kitchen Friend

Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie Anne Miller and I’m thrilled to share my passion for authentic American cooking with all of you. I’m 50 years old and live in Columbus, Ohio, specifically at Maple Ridge Drive in the beautiful Clintonville neighborhood.

My Story

I’ve been an elementary school teacher for over 25 years, but cooking has always been my second greatest passion. After my divorce, I discovered that cooking was my way of expressing creativity and caring for the people I love, especially my son Michael, who’s now 22 and in college.

Why USA Recipes?

I decided to create this blog because I firmly believe that traditional American recipes deserve to be preserved and shared. From my Midwest grandmothers, I inherited recipes dating back to the 1930s, and I want to pass them on to new generations.

My Culinary Philosophy

  • Simplicity: Fresh ingredients and accessible techniques
  • Tradition: Respect for classic American recipes
  • Family: Every dish tells a story

What You’ll Find Here

On my blog, I share:

  • Comfort food American recipes
  • Traditional holiday desserts
  • Weekend dishes and Sunday family meals
  • Tips for organizing dinners and picnics

Get in Touch!

If you have questions or want to share your variations of my recipes, please write to me! I’m always happy to hear your culinary stories.

You can reach me at the contact page.

With love from my kitchen to yours, Stephanie ❤️

P.S. When I’m not at the stove, you’ll find me in my garden growing herbs or on my yoga mat in my living room!
