About

Welcome To Simple Joy!

At Simple Joy we aim to bring you easy and delicious recipes that anyone can make. Our goal is to help busy parents, those new to the kitchen, and anyone who wants to learn how to cook to feel comfortable in the kitchen. We want you to know that anyone can cook; anyone can put a homemade meal on the table for their loved ones. It’s such a great way to share your love and create simple joy in your kitchen.

This idea that anyone can feel comfortable in the kitchen best shines through in our 30 minute meals. But you can trust that all of our dinner recipes are perfect for busy and beginner cooks. We offer side dishes that come together in a snap to round out your table, and desserts that are down to earth and but absolutely delightful.

We work hard to create recipes from ingredients that are easy to find and easy to keep on hand. The recipes you find on Simple Joy involve easy to follow techniques with explanations behind everything you are doing. The result is recipes that are easy to recreate in your own home with exceptional results.

Simple Joy was founded and is written by, Lisa Longley. Simple Joy was originally founded in 2011 under the name, Wine & Glue. We rebranded in 2020 and you can read all about our decision to rebrand here.
