Hello and welcome to Kristal’s Kitchen! I started this little corner of the Internet to share family friendly recipes that are easy and delicious. As a homeschooling family, I find myself in the kitchen A LOT. My three children insist on having breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, dinner and at least a dozen snacks in between. Oh, and an occasional dessert. Maybe you can relate? Of course, I’m exaggerating a bit here, but I do actually find myself cooking for my family at least twice a day, often even more.
My Story
Cooking is my passion and I’d always dreamed of being a famous chef in a fancy, big-city restaurant. However, I ended up serving in the US Navy instead where I learned all about technology and got to live in beautiful Hawaii for four years. I met my husband there and we came back to Texas with our first baby in the womb. As our family grew, my responsibility to them did too, and my dream seemed further and further from my reach. When I lost my job during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was faced with a choice – painstakingly search for new employment, or treat it as an opportunity to take a risk that I never would’ve considered when I had a stable income. I chose the latter. However, opening a restaurant seemed a bit irresponsible with all of the uncertainties we faced at the time. So, I wondered how I could share my love of cooking and all of the tips and tricks I have learned with other families, and Kristal’s Kitchen was born.
My Vision
I truly hope you love what you see here and I thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, for your support!
