Hey y’all,
I’m Matthew

AKA Your Barefoot Neighbor

I’m keeping it quick and easy in the kitchen with one pan meals, 30 minute dinners, slow cooker ideas, and more. I believe getting dinner on the table doesn’t need to be difficult, and whether you’re a novice just learning to cook, or already comfortable in the kitchen and looking for a little inspiration, I’m happy you’re here!

In 2020, I began teaching myself to cook, and a couple years later I started posting videos of my progress online. It turns out there are a whole lot of people looking for simple solutions to feeding themselves and their families.

So here we are, navigating dinner together. In my kitchen, there are no dumb questions. We understand that you simply don’t know what you don’t know, and believe in learning together with encouragement and unfussy recipes. So pull up and chair and come fix you a plate!
