Welcome to Family Food on the Table!
I'm Kathryn Doherty, the recipe creator, writer and photographer behind Family Food on the Table.
Here you'll find lots of easy, healthy recipes to make cooking at home possible, even on the busiest of days.
Fresh, wholesome and oh so tasty - you'll be inspired to get in the kitchen more and make some delicious dishes.
Whether it’s day-to-day breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas, or homemade baby food, kid snacks and fun treats, I’ve got you covered. Even if you're a beginner cook.
From scratch food doesn't have to be hard or intimidating or time-consuming. I have lots of great recipes and resources to help you stick to healthy, real foods in a real world way.
From easy chicken dinners to healthy salads to make-ahead breakfasts for busy mornings, you're going to find some new favorite recipes here. And ones that'll fit into your hectic life too!
It’s all about making it happen. And you can do this.
So, about me. I'm Kathryn, a former health and nutrition editor, mother of two kids, and devoted food and health nut. We live in Charlotte, N.C., and I am always in my kitchen fixing something. Or doing dishes. So many dishes...
I have a serious love of veggies, spicy food and apples. We eat oatmeal by the boat load and I use pumpkin year round. I've always got wine and bourbon on hand. Always.
And I'm so excited to share that I have a cookbook! It's called Healthy, Quick and Easy Baby Food and it's got absolutely everything you need to make homemade baby food, plus tons of toddler and little kid recipes that are yummy for the whole family. It also makes a great gift!
I'd love to hear from you with questions, ideas, requests or feedback!
You can contact me at kathryn at familyfoodonthetable.com or connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter.

Happy home cooking!
XO,
Kathryn

More behind-the-scenes tidbits about Kathryn:
- I like bourbon and the color purple. A lot. 🥃💜
- I’m a hugger. Give me a hug over a handshake any day.
- I have two chocolate labs, one very old and one very young. They are so sweet and fun! Here's Dixie at the beach (a few years ago) and our new pup Sadie on her first birthday.
- I went to college at Northwestern University (near Chicago) and majored in journalism.
- I’m a big nerd. My dream job? Full-time student. Instead, I worked for more than 15 years as a health and nutrition editor so I could read news all day long. I left to focus full-time on this site and on bringing you more deliciousness. And on the side, I sometimes take Coursera classes on health, nutrition and science. They even have quizzes and grades! 🤓
- I love books (goes with the nerdom). I love flipping through books, I love browsing for books, I love just looking at books. And of course, cookbooks! I especially like old community cookbooks.
- Long walks are my jam. Really long. Mostly this takes place on my treadmill in the form of daily exercise, but beaches are even better when I can get there. I've also done the 2-day Avon 39.3 mile walk for breast cancer twice and loved every step. 💖
