The Candid Cooks

Hi, we’re Nicole and Alex! We make wholesome, good-for-the-soul comfort food recipes. We’re two young adults (and newlyweds!) leading busy lives, so we understand how hard it can be to fit cooking into your schedule. That’s why we aim to provide you with unique and approachable recipes that make cooking fun and fit seamlessly into your everyday life. Food has always been an important part of our lives and we believe it’s one of the best ways to bring people together. Some of our favorite memories were made in the kitchen or around the table with friends and family. When we’re not in the kitchen, we love being outdoors and exploring new places. We’ve visited over 16 national parks – and plan to see them all! Our adventures have inspired a lot of our favorite recipes, helping us continue to intertwine happy memories with the food we enjoy every day.
