Welcome to Easy Good Ideas where the recipes are simple and the drinks are all mocktails!
We’re Mel and Dorothy, the husband and wife team behind the blog. We are partners in life and work – and we love easy recipes. After a day of cooking for our jobs the last thing we want to do is make a complicated meal – and that’s how Easy Good Ideas was born.
Dorothy has been running a baking website for over 14 years (CrazyforCrust.com). She cooks real food too, every night, for dinner, and decided to start sharing her tips and tricks and easy recipes here on EGI. She’s obsessed with books, Taylor Swift, reality television, and her labradoodle Abby.
Mel worked in IT for several years and started sharing recipes on Easy Good Ideas while he was teaching himself to cook. He’s a champion Fantasy Football player, rabid 49ers fan, and loves seeing the ocean. He tolerates Abby and she tolerates him back.
Our daughter, Jordan, is the writer of all the content on the site and does most of our social media. She’s a college student who lives at home and shares the Taylor Swift and books obsessions with her mom. She’s also a picky eater that has inspired lots of the recipes on this site and she loves Abby like a sister. Her love is sometimes reciprocated.
Our Promise
Easy Good Ideas is full of tested recipes we’ve eaten and enjoyed – we promise that everything we share will be easy, less than 10 ingredients, and done quick. From our 30 minute meals to copycat takeout, there is something for everyone – especially the picky eaters.
Mocktails are our new passion because everyone should get to enjoy a fun drink! Dorothy is having so much fun recreating her favorite cocktails as non-alcoholic drinks Mel (who has been alcohol-free for over 18 months) and her daughter can enjoy. We promise all the mocktails on this site are delicious and made with simple easy-to-find ingredients (sure, zero proof exists but when you don’t drink why would you want to use that?) Instead, we find ways to recreate your favorite flavors with waters, juices, and syrups, keeping them 100% alcohol free.
Thanks for being here and hopefully you find some easy (GREAT!) ideas!
