Clara Thompson

Hello! I’m Clara Thompson, and I’m so happy to be one of the recipe developers here at Simple Family Dishes. From my home kitchen in Burlington, Vermont, I’ve spent over two decades perfecting the kinds of meals that bring families together. With my own children now grown, my greatest joy is sharing that experience with you.

My passion is helping busy moms find confidence in the kitchen by sharing reliable, comforting recipes that I know will work for you. I believe in a no-fuss, all-flavor approach. The goal is to create meals that are not only delicious but also feel like a warm hug at the end of a long day.

On my corner of the site, you’ll find recipes for:

  • Make-ahead breakfasts to simplify your mornings.
  • Satisfying weeknight dinners the whole family will love.
  • Crowd-pleasing sides and classic desserts.

I believe the best memories are made around the dinner table, and I’m so happy to help you create them. I’m so glad you’re here!
