If you've read some recipes on the internet lately, these might look a little different than you're used to. There are no drawn-out stories before the recipe, no need for a "skip to recipe" button, no photos of perfectly staged ingredients before getting to the good part, just a description, ingredients, and steps for preparation, harkening back to the tradition of cookbooks.

Something else a little different about these recipes is that many of them are written with options within the recipe. Options like fresh peppers and onions or a bag of pre-cut peppers and onions with steps for each, using dairy or an alternative, relying on beans or meat or both as a protein source, those sorts of options. Why? Well, caregivers have a LOT on their minds and the goal here at Caregiver Cooking is to help lessen the mental load around food preparation.
