MEET EDEN

Hello, my name is Eden Noble. With a Family and Consumer Sciences degree, I dedicated seven years to teaching at a local high school. Now, I have the privilege of raising our three kids full-time while working alongside my husband. Together, we navigate the hustle and joy of parenthood while managing a boutique-style gym called VICTORY in our small town.

I discovered the fundamental truth that a healthy life finds its roots in the kitchen. My passion is to share our cooking philosophy, a simple yet powerful approach—keep it simple and just eat real food (JERF). This mantra is reflected in every recipe I share, emphasizing the beauty of uncomplicated, wholesome meals. My focus now, more than ever, has been to provide my family with nourishing food that doesn't demand a week to plan, prepare, and clean up.

If you’re new to cooking or feeling a bit rusty, using recipes like the ones found in my cookbook can help you learn the basics. I hope to eliminate confusion, simplify the cooking experience, and help you enjoy the process along the way.

While most of our food is served on stained or chipped dinnerware and the presentation of our meals may lack a glamorous aesthetic, these recipes are a true reflection of how we feed our family. My hope is that you feel inspired by these simple recipes and personalize them to fit your family's preferences. I intentionally leave out precise preparation and cook times, as well as specific ingredient measurements on some of the recipes, recognizing that everyone has unique preferences, cooking environments, and skill levels.

Give yourself permission to make mistakes and engage in the continuous journey of learning and growing. Step out of your comfort zone and trust your instinct. My goal is for anyone, regardless of cooking experience, to look at the recipe, feel encouraged by a short list of ingredients and instructions, and feel inspired by a beautiful picture.

If you've found inspiration through our journey, we'd love to hear from you. Please consider leaving a review and tag us in your FTN cookbook creations! Your support is truly invaluable. Thank you for being an integral part of this adventure.

Happy cooking!
