About Sarah Jenkins | Front Range Fed

Hello! I'm so glad you found me! I'm Sarah, and I am the owner of this food blog, Front Range Fed.

I live in beautiful Colorado with my husband, two boys, and pup, Maya. In 2013, we uprooted our family and moved to this amazing state from the hustle and bustle of Chicago. We wanted a simpler, more relaxed life, with room to run, play, and breathe in the amazing scenery that we now call home. Over a decade later, we're still discovering all that Colorado has to offer.

What You'll Find Here

Quick & Easy Family Recipes

Even though I love cooking, during the week it can be hard to work up the motivation to make something inspiring. Oftentimes, I'm googling what I can get on the table in the 15-30 minutes we may have between piano lessons and soccer practice. This blog features fresh meals that can be made quickly and easily without sacrificing taste.

Of course, I do love the occasional sourdough loaf or a classic bolognese simmering on the stove all day, so just indulge me if some of my slow cooking recipes happen to sneak in here every so often.

You'll find EVERY recipe I make here on the site, but you can also follow along with me on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook!

Simple, Fresh Ingredients

Most of the recipes that I have here use simple, fresh, everyday ingredients that can be found at your local grocery store. I also try to incorporate seasonal produce and local ingredients from the abundance of local farmstands in and around Boulder, CO, when I can.

Classic, But Inspiring Dishes

I love a good old-fashioned sugar cookie, easy chicken noodle soup, or weekend eggs and bacon. But, I also like to put new twists on old dishes (like pizza for breakfast!) and try out new cuisines. Basically, you'll get a smattering of easy but inventive ideas here that will please even the pickiest of eaters. I want you to be excited about cooking for your loved ones, but also realize that it doesn't have to be all that intimidating, either.

Recipes For A Family (Or More!)

I cook all my recipes for my family and friends, so most of the recipes here will serve a family of at least 4 (I do have 2 teenagers!), and sometimes more for entertaining. I firmly believe that cooking shouldn't feel like a "chore". Food is one thing that always brings people together, so learning how to make easy, delicious meals is such a gift both for you and the ones you love.

Recipes Made By Me, For You

These are real recipes made by me, in my kitchen. I develop, make, photograph, and write all the recipes you'll find here myself (unless otherwise noted - sometimes I do publish some winners I've tried from other sources, with credit, of course). These recipes have to pass some pretty high standards to make it onto frontrangefed.com, so you can feel confident that if it's here, it works.

So take a look around, and please share what you make with me - I absolutely LOVE seeing your spin on these recipes and hearing what you think. Tag me @frontrangfed on Instagram and share a pic!
