Who is Tom?

I'm Tom. I used to work way too much. Now I'm a stay-at-home dad and I want to keep track of what I've tried — so I built my own website. Here's what I've tried and what I thought.

Recipes

Real food, honest ratings. If it tasted great but made me feel terrible, you'll know.

Every recipe here is allium-freeno garlic, no onions. If you've avoided them your whole life and never had a word for it, now you do.

What is this site?

No sponsored posts. No affiliate pressure. No five-star reviews because someone sent me a free product. I'm a stay-at-home dad who tests things — recipes, products, household hacks — and writes down what actually happened. If it was great, I'll tell you. If it was bad, I'll tell you that too.

A lot of what I do is with sustainability in mind — minimizing waste, producing more of my own food over time, and figuring out smarter ways to run a household. It's a work in progress. This site is how I keep track of it.
