Planning, compiling, testing, and photographing these recipes - it was a labor of love. One that started way back in the fall of 2016 when Michaela jokingly (but publicly, on Facebook) mentioned to Terryn that they should write a cookbook together. Terryn said, “Heck yes we should!”

And thus, our journey began.

We both share the same food philosophies. We both work alongside our families, living the farm/ranch life. We’re both raising broods of active growing kids. And we both LOVE to eat delicious foods.

So, you can expect to find recipes that are flavorful and don’t skimp on any of the food groups. These recipes are as delicious as they are nutrient dense, but don’t include any chef-like skills or crazy ingredients that you wouldn't be able to find at your local grocery store. These are meals we prepare in our homes to fuel our families.

And we’re both beyond excited and grateful that you’re here and would be over the moon if your chose to give Hearty Meals to Fuel You from Sunup to Sundown a place in your home – and hopefully, your meal line-up!

With love,
Michaela & Terryn
