Hi! I’m Ali, and I am so happy that you found your way here.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I created Gimme Some Oven to celebrate life around the table, with recipes that are simple, fresh, and full of flavor. With two littles underfoot these days, I know how relentless the dinner grind can feel. My hope is that this space can offer a bit of inspiration for everyone — and make everyday cooking feel a bit more fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you’re throwing together a quick weeknight dinner, hosting a cozy brunch with friends, or just craving a warm batch of cookies, I hope you\u2019ll find recipes here that feel doable and delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Me<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I began Gimme Some Oven back in 2009, I was working full-time as a musician by day and spending my evenings cooking, photographing, and sharing recipes just for fun. Over time, that creative outlet grew into a full-time career \u2014 and for more than a decade now, I\u2019ve had the absolute joy of writing and developing recipes here on Gimme Some Oven<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after all these years, it still feels like magic to create a recipe in my kitchen and see it come to life on tables all around the world! Your trust in my recipes means the world to me, and I work hard to make sure each one is thoughtfully developed, thoroughly tested, and truly worth making \u2014 the kind of recipe you\u2019ll want to return to again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the blog, my husband and I are now settling back into life in Kansas City with our two young boys after spending six wonderful years living in Barcelona. My favorite things include sunny days, an excellent plate of nachos, lingering around tables with good friends, and always dreaming up our next adventure. I occasionally share more about life behind the scenes here<\/a> if you’d like to follow along.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

About Gimme Some Oven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So what kinds of recipes will you find here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short answer: a bit of everything.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipes I share here are the ones we\u2019re actually making and eating in our home. My husband is pescetarian, our boys are still a bit veggie-suspicious, and I enjoy a wide range of foods \u2014 so our meals reflect that mix. We do our best to cook seasonally, and most weeknights are all about quick, flavorful recipes that come together in 30 minutes or less. But I also love slowing down on the weekends with a cozy cup of coffee and baking our favorite 1-Hour Cinnamon Rolls<\/a>, or inviting friends over for a big pot of chili<\/a> with homemade guac<\/a> and margaritas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll notice here that we\u2019ve got a soft spot for Mexican food, big bowls of soup, noodles in all forms, and cookies of just about every variety. While most of my recipes lean fresh and lighter, you\u2019ll also find your fair share of fun treats and comfort food favorites \u2014 we’re all about balance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hope is that you\u2019ll find recipes here that work well for real life, whatever that looks like for you right now. And if there\u2019s ever a recipe you\u2019re craving, I\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

FAQs<\/h2>\n\n
How did Gimme some oven get its name?<\/strong>

I can’t take the credit. \ud83d\ude09 The name actually came from my former bandmate, Jay, who tossed it out during a rehearsal years ago when I mentioned I was thinking about starting a food blog. It made us all laugh \u2014 and it stuck! Now it feels like a fun little reminder of my past life as a full-time musician.<\/p> <\/div>

do you test all of the recipes here yourself?<\/strong>

You bet! Every single one of the 2000+ recipes on this site has been developed and tested in my own kitchen. I now have a team of recipe testers who join me each week to test old and new recipes to help ensure they are as clear, reliable, and delicious as possible. We want each recipe to be the best it can be when it reaches your table!<\/p> <\/div>

Can I substitute [ingredient] in your recipes?<\/strong>

The best way to ask about substitutions is to leave a comment on that specific recipe post. That way, we\u2019ll be sure to see it, and other readers can benefit from the answer too.<\/p> <\/div>

Do you ever update older recipes?<\/strong>

Yes! We\u2019re constantly retesting, updating and rephotographing older recipes to make sure they\u2019re as reliable and delicious as possible. Whenever we make a significant change, we do our best to note it clearly in the recipe notes so that you know what\u2019s been updated.<\/p> <\/div>

do you work with brands or accept sponsorships?<\/strong>

No. We made the decision back in 2018 to stop publishing sponsored content on Gimme Some Oven<\/em>. While we were grateful to partner with brands we genuinely loved in the past, it\u2019s important to us that readers know all product mentions are now completely unpaid \u2014 just things we personally use and recommend.<\/p> <\/div>

do you have a cookbook?<\/strong>

This is probably the most-asked question we receive. Sorry, not yet! I keep putting it off, but someday I look forward to finally writing one. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n

\n

Giving Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While we love creating and sharing recipes here, we also recognize what a profound privilege it is to have consistent access to fresh food, clean water, and a safe place to gather around the table. Not everyone has that \u2014 the statistics<\/a> are sobering, and they remind us how important it is to keep working toward change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we donate a portion of our profits to support three organizations working to fight food insecurity and expand access to nutritious food and clean water around the world. Every time you visit this site, your pageviews directly help support that work too, and we\u2019re so grateful. We\u2019d love for you to learn more about these incredible organizations and consider supporting them in whatever ways you can too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s our hope that this space not only inspires delicious meals, but also plays a small part in supporting communities far beyond our own kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
