Welcome! My name is Alissa and I’m so glad you’re here!


It’s so nice to meet you!

This Capsule Kitchen is your guide to all things simplicity in the kitchen: organization, simple recipes, curated menus, and decluttering to achieve high functionality.

My blog reaches and helps so busy people like you, who need simple solutions to manage the kitchen and feed a family! My goal is to teach you how to truly simplify your kitchen and provide you with the simplest recipes to cook easily at home (and save money doing so).

I am a small-town NJ native, and live with my husband, daughter, dog and six chickens in the country. I always dreamt of having a slower paced, homestead-type life. I am now using my 10+ years of experience in simple living and cooking from home (while managing a family, home, pets, and a demanding job) to show you how you can do the same.

All of my methods and recipes are ones my family loves, and that we have had success with for many years.

Thanks for stopping by my kitchen!
