Hello!
I’m Shannon Lyon, recipe creator and mom of 4 in Portland, Oregon. My problem is there’s almost no food I don’t like.
I love balanced flavor combinations and simple changes to basic recipes that elevate them (and make them seem a little more gourmet than they really are). I love that meals, no matter how simple or complex, bring people together.
