About

Welcome to West by Midwest! I’m a San Francisco Bay Area based blogger with strong Indiana Hoosier roots. My background is in marketing, but these days I spend my time hiking with my rescue pup Piper, volunteering, and sneaking as many veggies as I can into meals for my family.

When I start to cook a meal, I look at a few recipes for inspiration and then figure out how to make the dish with whatever happens to be in my fridge (or garden) at the moment. This has resulted in a lot of really unique takes on classic family friendly dishes. The downside? It can be hard to recreate the recipes…which brings me to this blog! West by Midwest is my way of chronicling the new recipes I create and the classic midwest dishes I enjoyed growing up.

Here you’ll find yummy recipes from my kitchen, gardening tips, and fun things to do in the SF Bay Area.

Enjoy!

Susan
