Nice to meet you
Hi, I’m Caitlyn!
I’m a wife, mom of three boys, and creator of The Buttery Spoon.
My story
From “what’s for dinner?” to a whole recipe box
Between work, raising littles, and everyday life, I know how busy dinnertime can be. That’s why I love creating simple, comforting meals that are kid-tested and husband-approved, from slow cooker favorites to quick one-pot dinners. I hope you’ll find a few new family favorites to make your busy nights a little easier.
Every recipe here gets tested on my own crew first. If it’s fussy, it gets simplified. If it flops, it never makes the site. What’s left are the keepers: cozy dinners, easy breakfasts, lunchbox wins, and desserts worth turning the oven on for.
Come say hi on Instagram — it’s where the daily cooking happens.
